The Crown

a beautiful picture book about celebrating the environment and nature for 4-7 year olds

"This is a book that begs us to change the world." Joseph Coelho, The Guardian

SHORTLISTED FOR THE KLAUS FLUGGE PRIZE 2024

You have the power to pass down . a different kind of crown.

Speaking from the future, a girl wears a crown made from the rubbish passed down to her by previous generations. Her Earth is covered by waste, but beneath the landfill she discovers a book of pictures that show her the past – our world as it is now – and she is filled with joy by the beautiful sky, land, sea and creatures that she sees. Alongside her companion horse, she experiences the beauty of our Earth and imagines a world where her crown is no longer made from rubbish, but from an abundance of life.

This is a lyrical, stunningly illustrated debut that expresses our need to act now to save the environment, while weaving a positive message about protecting the world we live in.
