PAY TRIBUTE<br />
TO EARTH DAY<br />
SPRING 2021
t<br />
hroughout the pandemic lockdown,<br />
many of us have strengthened our bonds<br />
to nature, as we have realized how fragile<br />
and connected we all are.<br />
With that in mind, we asked this group<br />
of creative women and girls – from<br />
six countries to share their illustrated<br />
thoughts about <strong>Earth</strong> <strong>Day</strong>.<br />
Some of that work serves as a celebration,<br />
while others used their art to provide<br />
a caution about how we care for<br />
Mother <strong>Earth</strong>.<br />
We invite you to take some time to reflect<br />
on how you might lighten your footprint in<br />
the coming year – while enjoying the magic<br />
and majesty right outside.<br />
We wish you a wonderful 2021.<br />

become rusted. The Pelicans, who<br />
are the cloud cleaners, fly in their<br />
airplanes to clean the rusted clouds.<br />
Then, the world fills with love.”<br />
