THE CITY THAT BREATHES

The City That Breathes

A city of glass and steel is cooking in the heat — the hottest day anyone can remember, and the pavements are burning. Then the Climate Keepers meet Mei, a girl who can hear what the green things are saying, and who knows a secret: a city doesn't have to be a furnace. It can breathe. Walls dressed in living leaves. Roofs painted white or turned to gardens. Parks that drink the floods. But when a deadly heatwave strikes the forgotten grey quarter — the part with no trees at all — the Keepers must cool a whole neighbourhood before morning. A vivid, inspiring picture book for ages 6–12 about urban heat, green cities, and how even a city of concrete can be brought back to life. Includes "What Is Real" facts and a "You Are a Keeper Now" call to action.
