When You Left is a picture book for 4- 8 year olds, and explores the theme that when parents break up and one parent moves on, it’s okay to have muddled feelings. A child’s parents split up and a new parent, Alex, has come on the scene. While the child desperately wants their parents to get back together and wants to dislike the new parent, there is a realisation that the sadness gets better, there can be room to love another parent and that the future can look hopeful.

The dangers of humans slipping into a state of obeisance to mechanistic inventions has been a pressing issue ever since the industrial revolution.

This book is about the possibility of realising a sustainable relationship between humans and the rest of nature, partly by creating a sustainable planetary culture of peace in which it is a matter of course that ecosystems, too, have rights, and partly by developing our legal systems so that, in effect, it becomes illegal to destroy ecosystems. The question of how to make peace with nature seems to be present as an unspoken longing in many of the efforts, on every level and in every sector, to reach the goals of a sustainable society. Peace and rights are interconnected, and the conversation about the rights of nature is attracting more and more attention. This makes it important to examine these ideas more closely.
