Review: Toletis

Toletis by Rafa Ruiz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Toletis is a young boy with an absolute, all encompassing love of nature. He notices the trees are disappearing, some due to a fire, other due to logging and building a road. So, he and his friends, Claudia and Tutan decide to plant their apple pips to grow more trees.

The adults keep putting obstacles in their way, but the find the perfect spot and soon the magic happens. We meet the treenie-weenies, the souls of the lost trees and the determined thrushes too.

This is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read. It shows the love of nature and what we are doing to destroy it…..it also shows how we could easily repair the damage with love and consideration.

I love the way it shows how we could show our children (and ourselves) a different outlook to life, away from smartphones and TV….just being outside in nature with quiet thoughts and the beauty that surrounds us, if only you take the time to look. Stunning and perfect for any age.

Thank you to Anne Cater and Random Things Tours for the opportunity to participate in this blog tour and for the promotional materials and a free copy of the book and this is my honest, unbiased review
