When a girl's best friend walks away, her tears don't just fall?they carry her somewhere else entirely.
What begins as a quiet cry behind the school's big tree becomes a dreamlike journey through rivers, skies, and wildflower meadows, guided by a playful pair of otters, a soaring hawk, and a wise hare who knows every plant in the forest. Along the way, she discovers that heartbreak doesn't have to be survived alone?and that the natural world has been offering comfort all along.
My Earth Journey is a richly illustrated picture book that weaves friendship, emotional healing, and plant wisdom into a single immersive story. Back matter includes illustrated guides to the spirit animals and wild plants that appear throughout?lavender, mugwort, valerian, violets, and more?making this as much a nature guide as a story.
For readers ages 8?12 who feel things deeply, love the natural world, and need a reminder that new friends and new adventures are always just around the corner.
