HAPPY World Green Roof Day!

🌿 Welcome to ‘Journey to the Green Roof’ the latest story from Tales from Mother Earth the children’s publisher formed in response to the climate crisis.

🌿 560 free copies of the book will be donated for free to schools and community groups on or around 6th June. Copies of the book can be purchased after today with proceeds going to a GRO Education Fund.
