{2026 New Release} The Big Green: A Story About the Great Green Wall of Africa by: Ken Wilson-Max In an upbeat story with bright, welcoming illustrations, Ken Wilson-Max conveys the excitement and hope created by a vast, community-powered project to bring more trees to sub-Saharan Africa. It’s another hot day in Mali, at the edge of the desert, and Mariam and Issa know something special is about to happen. As they play in the shade and make clapping rhythms with their hands, Mum and Dad make their own kind of music with shovels, poking holes in the dry earth.

Happy Pub Week to Ken Wilson-Max! An approachable way to discuss climate resiliency with children who want to make a difference to the Earth’s future. #newrelease #TheBigGreen #KenWilsonMax #WeNeedDiverseBooks #OurStoriesMatter #kidlit
