An absolutely beautiful story of love, loss, hope and passion told through the eyes of the young, the determined, those who know change must happen.
An absolutely beautiful story of love, loss, hope and passion told through the eyes of the young, the determined, those who know change must happen. Rio tells his story and shares his pain whilst living with his mum and her mental health issues. But a change must come. So by moving to California to live with his grandmother, Rio learns of the horrifying effects of human activity that is threatening our planet alongside his own bravery to find his own strength to strive for change. Rio takes us on a wonderful adventure to save ‘White Beak’ whilst saving himself from the guilt and heartfelt loss of being away from his mum and his home.
Thank you Hannah for representing mental health within families and it’s effects on everyone, those suffering with it and those who suffer because of it. Your writing is full of love, teaching us all to be kinder to the planet, each other and of course ourselves. I can’t wait to see those wonderful illustrations when ‘White Beak’ is finally brought to life.
