Give the Power of Change
People are finding hope for the world they want through building community and making it green. This Green Season, New Village Press is offering a special two-book gift set that inspires good works and satisfies the desire for meaningful connection. Save 60% on two books and New Village will donate matching books to a public school or library.
Works of Heart: Building Village through the Arts, edited by Lynne Elizabeth and Suzanne Young, is a full-color celebration of nine communities engaged in creative cultural expression. Stories range from children building an African-inspired mud facade on their middle school to an annual blessing-procession in that brings to life dozens of depressed neighborhoods in North Philadelphia.
Doing Time in the Garden, by James Jiler, describes a "green collar" job-training program that helps hundreds of men and women who have been incarcerated start new lives. Jiler's engaging personal account of running a successful gardening school at the largest jail in the United States, provides guidance for creating in-prison and post-release programs and gives hope to social activists.
This two-book set offers insight about real changemaking. You'll find true stories about the transformative power of arts and ecology, all illustrated in beautiful color photography.
These hardbound books normally retail at $25 each, but are being offered as a special Green Season Gift Set for only $30. For each set you purchase, New Village Press will "pay it forward" by donating a matching set to a school or library.
