From award-winning children's poet Joseph Coelho comes this gentle, poetic story about climate change, working together, building communities, and living in sync with nature.

In this moving, hopeful story, three children are gazing down from their high-rise windows at leaves hitting the hot pavements. The summer is hotter than ever before, and the trees are tricked into thinking it is fall.

A wise tree shows the children how to conjure rain and look after the forest--and in bravely finding a short-term solution, they inspire and awaken a long-term commitment in the grown ups around them. Together, they all rediscover the hidden power of reconnecting with nature and protecting it for future generations.

This important look at climate change and protecting the natural world is brought to life by sweeping, emotive illustrations from Richard Johnson, who previously worked with Coelho on Our Building.

A beautiful way to highlight the importance of nature-restoration efforts, this book highlights the lesser-known signs of climate change in urban environments, providing children aged 5+ with details about what to look out for in the world around them.
