The Girl who Planted Trees, written by award-winning author Caryl Hart, is a lyrical and hopeful picture book about how one little girl inspires her whole village to bring back life to their mountain.

When a Grandad shows his grandaughter a picture of how alive the great, grey mountain used to look, the little girl is determined to regrow the forest. However, she soon learns that growing trees isn’t easy but she doesn’t give up!

Together with this heartwarming picture book, the activities included in this box will inspire a love for gardening and teach our children about resilience, the power of a community and how our climate affects the world around us.

This box will empower your children to tackle global issues and realise that ‘No one is too small to make a difference.’ Greta Thunberg!
