Verdy, A Seed For Change In The City - JOSEPH WITCHALL

An inspiring picture book with a whimsical creature Verdy, who shows us the importance of nature and communities coming together. Verdy, who lives in a tranquil woodland, is a protector of the environment and is so in tune with nature that wherever he goes, flowers and leaves grow out of the end of stalk on the top of his head. Sadly, one day the unthinkable happens and his home is threatened, catapulting him into the hustle and bustle of city life. Scared and confused, he does his best to help the plants and animals there, but who will help him? A wonderful story of how we can all make a difference to where we live and how communities can come together to create positive change. With adult help or on their own, there's space at the back for a child to write or draw what they could do, and there's also an activity page to encourage the child to re-read the book, spotting creatures throughout. Full of lovely illustrations, children will adore Verdy and his ever-changing appearance. Guide age range: 4-8 yearsMade with paper & love, from you to me. Why we love itWe love the little creature called Verdy and his antenna that changes depending on his environment, who is brought to life through the detailed illustrations. With some powerful messages around nature, it's ultimately a story of hope and shows the positive impact of people taking action together. The interactive pages at the end are a great feature.
