Discovering the beauty of nature through a young boy’s eyes, and more importantly, what we can do to heal nature’s wounds is the strong, beautifully told and illustrated message of this book. Young Eli’s first look at the beauty of nature will leave a lifelong impression. His mother brings him on a bike trip out of town to show him the wonders of the natural world as she creatively explains the process of the Creation. It is a lesson that Eli takes to heart as he is aware of how Man has damaged nature through pollution and environmental neglect. TIKKUN OLAM (Fixing the World) is the duty of us all. The book teaches children basic environmental awareness and responsibility. It features a list of practical, everyday steps we can take to help heal nature.
