In despair that her Earth is out of balance, Mother Earth travels to 6 habitable continents to seek help from children, ages 7 to 14. Knowing that children have open minds and hearts to understand different environmental problems on her Earth, she seeks 6 children to learn from her and help resolve those problems. Young readers will find out about environmental issues as well as something about each of the six continents. They will learn about issues with insects, animals and birds; oceans, rainforests and floods. Mother Earth's song (with a QR code) at the end of the story leaves readers with hope in their hearts that, with effort and a willingness to change, people can solve these environmental problems and restore balance on the Earth again.


Annie Houston grew up in Jamaica and England before coming to the U.S. at age twelve. She lived in Washington DC with her architect husband for about 50 years before moving in 2021 to Brooklyn, NY to be with her daughter and her family. She has been an educator of children of many ages, a director of Shakespeare's plays for young people, creator and artistic director of the puppet company Shakespeare For The Young, and actress. She was nominated for a Helen Hayes in 2018 for best actress in the play Still Life With Rocket. She is passionate about the earth and its environment. She hopes her book will inspire young people to take care of it.
