Publisher Description
Take a journey to help the Earth in the second book of the New York Times bestselling trilogy by Julian Lennon!
Jump aboard the White Feather Flier, a magical plane that can go wherever you want. This time, Lennon’s interactive book immerses children in a fun and unique journey where they can:
• Bring medicine to people in need!
• Dive below the ocean to bleached coral reefs!
• Visit the city to cultivate green spaces!
• Help the rain forest return and give its animals a home!
• Explore the planet, meet new people, and help make the world a better place!
The Flier's mission is to transport readers around the world, to engage them in helping to save the environment, and to teach one and all to love our planet. Just press a button printed on the page, and point the plane up in the air to fly, or down to land it!
An inspiring, lyrical story, rooted in Lennon's life and work, Heal the Earth is filled with beautiful illustrations that bring the faraway world closer to young children. The book includes words to a new, special poem written by Julian Lennon, specifically for Heal the Earth.
A portion of the proceeds from book sales will go to support the environmental and humanitarian efforts of the White Feather Foundation, the global environmental and humanitarian organization that Lennon founded to promote education, health, conservation, and the protection of indigenous culture.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The creators of Touch the Earth present another "healing adventure" aboard the fanciful White Feather Flier a vehicle that changes shape and function while traveling the planet on environmental and humanitarian missions. As in its predecessor, this mildly interactive book invites readers to join the Flier's young cartoon passengers by pressing a printed "imagination power button" and tilting the book up (to take to the air) or down (to dive underwater). As the vessel morphs from plane to mobile hospital to submarine to tractor to boat, the kids deliver medicine to children in a remote location, help a coral reef recover from the effects of climate change, plant a city garden, and join reforestation efforts in the jungle. Though it provides minimal information about the causes of these dire scenarios, the affable text congratulates readers at every stop ("Wow! You made the rain forest return!"), offering a streamlined vision of the rewards of doing one's part. Set against a backdrop of calming teal tones, Coh's cheering matte pictures portray Earth's dramatic healing in bursts of vivid color. A concluding singsong poem echoes the rallying cry of Lennon's tale, which should spark productive dialogue. Ages 3 6. Authors' agents: Robert Gottlieb and Alyssa Eisner Henkin, Trident Media Group.
