Lucy can make the sun smile, but when Earth falls ill, she feels its sorrow. Her tears, carried by a dragonfly, spread a message of urgency. A young boy, touched by this, rallies his village and beyond to heal the planet. Can small acts of kindness restore balance and hope? Discover a journey of connection and renewal in a world needing care.

From the publisher

Lucy has a special gift–she can make the sun smile. One day, when the Earth gets sick, Lucy can feel its pain and begins to cry. Her tears land on the wings of a dragonfly who travels across the planet, spreading the message of the ailing Earth to anyone who will listen. A certain young boy who meets the dragonfly realizes that something must be done. Along with his village and others around the world, he and his family begin to heal the Earth and Lucy with small and thoughtful gestures.
