The Promise
Children's books are excellent ways of educating the next generation about important social issues. The Promise by Nicola Davies, illustrated by Laura Carlin is a beautiful book teaching children the power they hold over the environment and the impact of industrialism. The book is heavily influenced by The Man Who Planted Trees, a French story first published in 1953, and since animated by Frederic Back (incidentally some of the most gorgeous hand-crafted animation I've watched, I will make a post about him soon!).
