Deforestix
Romanian title: Defrișeci
A giant made of felled trunks, who can no longer find his roots.
Guided by the animals of the forest, David sets out to find Defrișeci, a sad giant made of felled tree trunks, who can no longer find his roots.
From him, David learns that a forest is a true oxygen factory: a single hectare cleans the air of tens of tonnes of carbon dioxide. Only the forest has been cut down, the animals have fled, and the birds have lost their nests.
And then comes the most important part: David finds a root still alive, plants it carefully and promises to remain the guardian of the forests. The third adventure in the „Adventures to Save the Planet” collection, illustrated by Daniela Rusen.
Alina Diaconu’s imaginative tales contain vitally important themes that we all need to be aware of and will hopefully inspire children to take a more active and involved role in the future of our planet.
