Though it's clear that our planet faces grave danger, readers will come away feeling that positive change is within their grasp."" -- Kirkus Reviews ""Place-based poetry extols cities that have undertaken rewilding efforts in this uplifting poetry collection from Silverman. Colorful wildflowers, googly eyed animals, and budding environmentalists of different skin tones populate Hsu's paintings, which amplify the inspirational examples featured."" -- Publishers Weekly ""Silverman celebrates 11 successful projects that have resulted in wildlife returning to their previously disturbed, now mostly urban habitats. Additional prose text offers more comprehensive information, while Hsu's sunny acrylic-gouache illustrations expand on program details. With generous back matter, this makes an upbeat addition to primary ecology units."" -- Booklist"
