A NEW NEIGHBORHOOD

How can you transform a dilapidated neighborhood into a lush neighborhood where life is good? Renata realizes one day that her neighborhood is dilapidated, that trash cans are piled up on the sidewalks, that the houses are tagged, that the trees are dying, etc. So, she starts by cleaning in front of her house and gradually manages to mobilize her entire community in renovating the neighborhood. It’s a community transformation. This captivating adventure illustrates the key stages of this urban metamorphosis and offers informative information on waste management, composting, and the reintroduction of plants into the urban environment. Renata reminds us of the power of community action and collaboration to transform our environment and ourselves. The work, in addition to being inspiring and based on real facts, highlights a community united around a mobilizing project, while integrating educational aspects on environmental practices. It therefore fits perfectly into sustainable development education programs. This album won the Colibri medal awarded by the iBbY for its contribution to the promotion of an engaged community and a sustainable environment.
