Les autrices abordent les questions environnementales, le bien-être des animaux, l’estime et le respect de soi, ainsi que l’importance de la communauté. Elles livrent un message touchant et universel de manière accessible : nous devons tous être de bons ancêtres pour le monde qui nous entoure. Le texte du livre présenté sous forme de strophes nous porte à réfléchir à notre manière d’influencer les générations futures. Chaque décision que nous prenons a des conséquences et nous pouvons exercer une influence sur le monde qui nous entoure en réfléchissant bien à ces décisions.

“A perfect read-aloud for introducing the importance of caring for the earth.”
“A beautiful call to action…A perfect read for teaching about empathy and demonstrating the ways we are all connected. Highly Recommended.”
“A profound reminder, both in story and illustrations, of the beauty and potential that lie within each and every one of us.”
“So much to look at and discuss. In this short book the authors have helped readers begin to think about answers to the question: “How do you live now to help future generations?”…Will surely find a place in classrooms and libraries, especially as talk turns to Earth Day later this spring. Recommended.”
