The (almost) true story of the man who managed to bring nature back in New York. A colorful, feel-good picture book.

Rusty nails, rotten fruit, flat mattresses, worn-out tires -- that’s all that was left of salt marshes around New York as the city transformed them into a garbage dump. Until a man named Herbert Johnson decided that it was time to bring nature back!Inspired by the true story of a pioneering environmentalist, this poetic picture book reminds us how everybody, in their own way, can achieve great things for the planet.
