Quang & Lien – It’s Up to Us

We’re very proud to reveal that Quang & Lien were chosen to illustrate the beautiful cover & internal spread for ‘It’s Up to Us: A Children’s Terra Carta for Nature, People and Planet’.

‘Children have a unique curiosity for Nature and for this amazing planet we call home.’ So writes HRH The Prince of Wales in his introduction to the book.

It’s Up to Us is based on the Terra Carta, a roadmap to sustainability issued by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales and his Sustainable Markets Initiative.

Taking us on a beautiful, lyrical and thought-provoking voyage through Nature, the threats we face and an action plan for the future, the book was developed in partnership with The Prince’s Foundation, a charity established by HRH The Prince of Wales to demonstrate how Nature can be put at the heart of human activities.

Available from What on Earth Publishing.
