THE CROWN by Emily Kapff

AUTHOR & ILLUSTRATOR:  Emily Kapff

 

In a world overwhelmed by waste, a young girl inherits a crown unlike any other; one crafted from the discarded remnants of previous generations. As she stands atop a hill formed from landfill, she discovers a forgotten book that reveals the vibrant beauty of our Earth as it once was.  Through this poignant tale, she envisions a future where her crown is no longer a symbol of neglect, but a testament to the flourishing life she hopes to restore. 

Emily Kapff’s picture book is a visually striking exploration of environmental responsibility and hope. Her illustrations contrast the bleakness of a waste-covered world with the vivid, life-filled landscapes of the past, inspiring readers to reflect on their role in preserving the planet.  The Crown serves as a powerful tool for sparking conversations about sustainability and the impact of our choices on future generations.
