The Soot

A wordless picture book in which a child watches pollution darken her city and discovers that even a small act of environmental care can become an answer to fear.

Over the course of a single day, a young girl's bright city is swallowed by soot. Told without words through bold visual storytelling, The Soot introduces air pollution and climate awareness in a form young readers can interpret for themselves, ending with a hopeful act: planting and caring for a tree.
