Grace dreams big, but will she and her family weather the storm?

Grace, a witty 13-year-old girl, with the rare gift of making everyone around her laugh, takes us back to her early childhood years with her close-knit, loving farmer family in Kenya: a time with lots of fun, but also a time when disaster almost split her family apart.

Target audience: Children and families.
Theme: Nature, Family, Environment, Climate Change, Hope, Tree Planting, Water, Childhood, Children's’ Rights, Climate Justice, Resilience, Climate Adaptation & Kenya.

A very special thanks to Grace, her family and the Mutomo community.
