This cheerful compendium of true, narrative non-fiction stories show
that when we give it a little bit of space and maybe a gentle helping
hand, nature comes bouncing back!
From tiger numbers which are roaring back in India and Nepal
following conservation efforts, to ecosystem restoration success
stories such as the return of the grey wolves to Yellowstone National
Park -- the uplifting tales in Happy Stories for Nature Lovers show
that there is hope for our precious planet.
Many children and young people are very worried about the health of our
planet and climate, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed by bad
environmental news. Happy Stories for Nature Lovers provides some
light, showing that with the right approaches, we can help nature
heal.
