"Dharshana has created a sensitive and timely book that not only introduces young people to the urgent environmental questions of the day, but also opens up the conversation in a way that allows them to make their own decisions and discoveries. Beautifully put together." Parvathi Nayar, artist and writer who works with Water, space and urban memory

Gaia's Own: Every Child's Guide To Living In Harmony With Nature is an exchange of emails between a young girl and her itinerant grandfather, on the theme of Nature and our interrelationship with it, especially in the context of climate change.

This is a non-fiction book, for preteens, young adults, and anyone interested in learning more about the interdependence between mankind and the natural world. The Foreword has been written by Mr. Pushpanath Krishnamurthy, a climate change/environment activist.

The book shares concerns about the current environmental issues plaguing Earth in a casual, personal, and wholesome way. It also shares information on what is being done to alleviate these problems as well as fresh perspectives on what needs to be done further to completely course-correct and help maintain the balance in Nature conducive to a harmonious existence.

The children are the future. And the wisdom they gain today will guide them in their choices tomorrow. This book aims to raise the awareness in each child of how they may contribute in the future to finding better solutions, to make this world a better, happier place. It hopes to instill respect for the natural world, and keep their innate sense of wonder alive always.

There are 10 chapters in the book, and at the end of each chapter guidelines are provided on how children can connect with Nature. The book is peppered with quotes from thinkers across centuries, on Nature and how best to live with it.

The author, Dharshana Bajaj, is also a book editor and a visual artist. As in her recent paintings and drawings, in this book, too, you will find an amalgamation of spirituality, science, and art. To know more about the artist/author, please visit www.dharshanabajaj.in/books/
