Journey to the Green Roof

In a Journey to the Green Roof, Freya, a hairy-footed flower bee and Sarah, a European seven-spotted ladybird, each get caught up in their own adventure as the story details their journey to the green roof. We follow how everything changes for them so dramatically in one single day, and how they both come to the same conclusion in very different ways – that every roof should be green!

The book aims to teach children 3-10 years old through storytelling, how important green roofs are as a structure and what they can give back to wildlife and biodiversity.

Accompanied by an original score and narrated by Mother Earth, this story aims to raise the awareness of the plight our natural world and educate and inspire the young.
