The book explores how the innate curiosity of children and their lack of prejudice can be channeled toward a solid ecological consciousness. Topics such as veganism, sustainability, and individual and collective action are addressed, always from a pedagogical and practical perspective. It is not just about diagnosing the problem, but about offering resources and strategies to act in a conscious and responsible way.
