Dear Humans: A Letter from the Animals
Nisha Coleman
Illustrated by Shanthony ExumMarch 2023
The Earth is changing fast! Polar Bear's ice is melting. Gazelle's savanna is turning into a desert. Sea Turtle's waters are poisoned. Toucan's rainforest is disappearing.
How bad is it? Gorilla calls all the animals to a summit. They have to talk. When they realize that humans are behind the destruction, they must act quickly. Should they send them to another planet? Maybe the humans need their help? The animals write a letter to remind humans how they were meant to live on this Earth. And how to turn things around before it's too late.
