5 STAR-AMAZON REVIEW: This charming tale (Keith Canedo), with fun rhyming couplets asks, “Have You Seen Green?” Young Jacob is urged by the spirits to find green. As he searches for the answer, the reader is introduced to environmental changes/dangers to the earth. What a perfect way for parents/grandparents to address this crucial topic! The story challenges the protagonist and reader to begin making a difference, “What can I do?” “Change starts with just one, let it be you.”
A call to action occurs as the friends at school band together to be part of the solution to help save the environment. Green is found, the spirits rejoice and the children are reminded to always honor the lands, oceans and skies.
The illustrations (Adriane Hairston) are fabulous interpretations of the text. Eye pleasing primary colors and designs enable the reader to explore the world outlined in the narrative. This blend of art and creative storytelling make this book a must have. Can’t wait to read it to all of my grandchildren.
