About This Book
Reach for this book when your child expresses a desire to help the world but feels overwhelmed by their size or the magnitude of environmental issues. It is a perfect choice for quiet moments when you want to nurture a sense of patience, stewardship, and connection to family roots. Eve lives near a majestic forest and admires the baobab trees, longing to be like them. Through the guidance of her father and grandmother, she learns that protecting the earth is a generational relay race. She discovers that by planting and nurturing a single seedling, she is participating in a beautiful, slow-moving legacy of love. This story is ideal for children aged 3 to 7 as it moves at a rhythmic, meditative pace. It transforms abstract concepts like environmentalism into tangible, loving actions like feeding birds or waiting for a seed to sprout. Parents will appreciate how it models a healthy, multigenerational family dynamic where wisdom is passed down with tenderness and joy.
