Dear Little One

Apr 25, 2025

Earth Day is celebrated here in April but should be practiced and embraced and remembered in our everyday movements every single day. Dear Little One is a brilliantly composed love letter to all the children of Earth from Mother Nature. Told in gentle free verse, as Laden does so magically, and illustrated in a free and playful and detailed way with a palette remarkable and only ever really expected from Castrillon’s signature eye for the colors we all need to see.

This book is for little ones, as the title suggests, however, this book is just as much for every single other human on the planet. We all need books like this every day and there isn’t a lovelier way to send us all to sleep than with the reminder that we are all “a sparking part of this beautiful place.”
