The Earth has a cold! All the symptoms are there. She’s sneezing up storms and burning a fever so high it’s affecting the seasons. She’s coughing and it’s causing earthquakes. Luckily one boy cares enough to take action and get everyone to stop and take notice. This poignant tale teaches children about responsibility and about being aware of their world and their place in it. The best part is that it leaves readers with a sense of hope and empowerment.

Beautifully evocative illustrations team with a refreshingly new writing style to create the perfect blend of a compelling story and a meaningful message of personal growth, personal responsibility, and hope for our future.
