Like the city in which she lives, she is mean and nasty until a wise <br /> old woman changes her by opening the door to kindness. <br /> The book's illustrations by Laura Carlin show a dark and gloomy city. Silhouettes <br /> help you imagine the lifeless people who live there. The book's illustrations remain <br /> dull until the girl plants, bringing color to her world. <br /> The theme of change is expressed often in this book. The book thoroughly <br /> describes, in words and pictures how a harsh, broken city becomes a lush green <br /> forest. As the illustrations change, it becomes clear to readers how everyone can <br /> make a change and the more people get involved, the bigger that change will be. <br /> The Promise takes readers on a heart-felt journey from horrid to happy feelings. <br /> We promise you that this inspiring book will open your eyes and leave you <br /> wondering about how kindness can grow in your life. <br />
