Author: ‘How we nurture the world around us directly impacts the world within us!’ Beverly Jatwani’s deeply spiritual upbringing in India was rooted in outdoor play: muddy knees and climbing trees is best how she describes her childhood. It is with these precious memories in mind, armed with the life lessons that she learned whilst being a mum to three spirited children, that inspired her to co-found the Middle East’s first green and purpose over profit children’s nursery. Having witnessed how children engage with nature, Beverly was inspired to write a series of children’s books that capture the innate love and affinity that children have with Mother Earth. Through these seven beautifully illustrated and tenderly written books, Beverly takes children on their own journey to discover how even little people can make a positive impact on our planet.
