In the hands of each child lies the power to heal the world and save our planet.

Sunny was the tiny seed living in the land of a green fields and blooming flowers,. Sunny had a big dream — to become a beautiful tree who can spread happiness all around. But in the mean time something was changing in the world, or the world was changing ????

One day, Sunny met a wise old elephant named Appu. Appu explained that our Earth is getting warmer, and it is called climate change. The plants and animals were struggling because people were not taking care of nature. But Appu had a special message for Sunny.

“Little seed,” said Appu, “you hold the power to bring the change. Plant yourself in earth, grow into a strong tree, and spread love and greenery. You can make a difference, dear.

Filled with determination, Sunny found a spot in the soil and started growing. With each passing day, Sunny’s roots dug deeper, drawing nourishment from our very own Mother Earth. The tiny shoot emerged from the ground, stretching towards the sun, like a little dancer reaching for the sky.

As Sunny grew taller and stronger, children from the nearby village noticed the new tree. They admired its vibrant green leaves and fragrant flowers. Curious, they gathered around and listened to Sunny’s story.

With a gentle smile, Sunny shared the wisdom of the land: “Plant trees, save water, and keep our Earth clean. Together, we can protect nature and make our world a better place.”

The children’s eyes sparkled with excitement. They promised to become little guardians of the environment. They planted more trees, recycled waste, and shared Sunny’s message with their friends and families.

Time passed, and Sunny’s tree became a haven for birds, squirrels, and butterflies. Its shade offered respite on hot summer days, and its branches echoed with joyous chirping and laughter.

सेवितव्यो महावृक्ष: फ़लच्छाया समन्वित:। यदि देवाद फलं नास्ति,छाया केन निवार्यते।।

A large tree with fruitful shade should be served If there is no fruit from God, who can stop the shadow?

Sunny knew that even a small seed could make a big impact. The love and care it received from the children and the land had turned it into a symbol of hope and happiness.

And so, Sunny the little seed continued to grow, spreading the magic of nature far and wide, reminding everyone to cherish and protect our beautiful Earth.

lessons learned: “Plant a seed, watch it grow, and let love for our Earth forever flow.”

“We are the first generation to feel the effect of climate change and the last generation who can do something about it.” ~ Barack Obama, Former US President
