About This Book
Reach for this book when your child scoffs at recycling or thinks their individual habits are too small to impact the planet. It is an essential choice for addressing entitlement or a lack of environmental awareness. The story follows Walter, a boy who carelessly tosses trash and dreams of a futuristic world filled with robots. Instead, he wakes up in a surreal, polluted future where his own neighborhood is buried in smog and waste. Through haunting, dreamlike illustrations, Walter experiences the heavy consequences of neglect before returning to the present with a newfound sense of responsibility. Best for children ages 6 to 10, it transforms environmental science from a lecture into a vivid, emotional experience that fosters gratitude for the natural world and a desire to protect it.
