Judith A. Ewa: Transforming the Future of Our Planet

In the quiet moments of a child’s life, when they’re curled up with a story, an extraordinary opportunity exists: the chance to change their world. For Judith A. Ewa, this is the mission behind her writing. Her recent release, Bibi Saves the Trees, continues the journey she began with her first two books in the Preserve the Planet series. This series does more than simply entertain; it imparts vital lessons to the next generation about the importance of environmental stewardship, wrapped in the charm of storytelling.

Judith’s inspiration to create these books didn’t stem from a corporate initiative or an academic paper. Instead, it grew from a long career as a finance professional, working across humanitarian aid, sustainable development, and climate change. Her work has always been driven by a deep belief that the most important resource we have is the planet we live on, and that each individual can make a difference. She realized the key to real change: teaching children how their actions, no matter how small, can ripple out into something far greater.

A Legacy of Impact

Judith’s career has been a journey of impact. Before stepping into the world of children’s literature, she worked on development projects focused on education and health in Sub-Saharan Africa and improving living conditions in disaster-stricken areas. Judith saw firsthand how large-scale environmental issues impact the next generation.

Her interest in climate change, combined with her commitment to humanitarian work, made it clear that education would be the most effective tool for lasting change. But how could she reach young hearts and minds? The answer came when Judith realized that storytelling, rich with emotion and meaning, could leave an imprint that transcends mere information.

A Powerful Turning Point

Writing a children’s book is no small feat, but for Judith, it was a natural next step. When she penned her first book in the Preserve the Planet series, she found a way to break down complex environmental issues into accessible lessons that would resonate with young readers. Her unique ability to simplify the challenges of climate change into meaningful stories sets her apart from other authors in the field.

The success of Bibi Saves the Trees, which became a #1 New Release bestseller in three different Amazon categories, confirmed that the world was ready for more of these impactful tales. The book tells the story of Bibi, a young girl whose love for nature leads her to take action when she sees her beloved picnic spot being destroyed. Through her grief, Bibi learns the power of using personal sorrow as motivation for change, a message that resonates deeply with both children and adults.

Going Beyond the Story

What truly makes Judith’s books stand out are the elements designed to turn readers into doers. At the back of each book in the Preserve the Planet series is an activity that encourages children to translate what they’ve learned into action. Judith’s books don’t simply ask children to care about the planet; they equip them with tangible ways to make a difference.

The accompanying activity books, which include puzzles and games, help children develop problem-solving skills, all while reinforcing the messages of sustainability, conservation, and environmental responsibility. Judith’s approach is not just about reading; it’s about engaging, learning, and making real-world change.

Recognizing the Power of the Story

Critics and readers alike have praised Judith’s ability to weave thought-provoking environmental themes into enjoyable, child-friendly stories. Monica Cordova, a reviewer for Bibi Saves the Trees, described the book as “fantastic,” noting the genuine emotion Bibi expresses when faced with environmental destruction. “Her reaction seems so genuine when she witnesses the destruction of the forest she loves,” Cordova wrote. “What I admired most, though, is how she uses her grief to motivate herself. It’s the sort of tale that quietly educates children that they can change the world.”

Elian Anchundia, commented, “As a reader, I was thrilled to see how Bibi Saves the Trees inspires children to care for the planet with hope and action. The story is simple, one of the aspects that I like very much and without leaving aside the important aspects that this reading leaves us with as with the love she shows for nature, she transforms the sadness for a felled forest into a school project full of life. I loved how it conveys that every little action adds up. This book is undoubtedly a seed of ecological awareness that blossoms in the hearts of young readers.”

These glowing reviews are a testament not only to Judith’s storytelling talent but also to her unique ability to create stories that spark meaningful change.

The Bigger Picture

As Judith continues to shape the narrative around environmental issues, she remains driven by the belief that small steps, taken by many, can lead to significant change. Each child who reads her books, participates in the activities, or discusses the issues raised is a future steward of the Earth, ready to tackle the environmental challenges ahead. For Judith, writing is not just a profession; it’s a calling to make a difference on a global scale.

With her books earning numerous accolades, including the International Firebird Book Award, the Global Book Award, and the CIPA-EVVY Book Award, Judith A. Ewa’s work is gaining momentum. But more importantly, it’s making an impact that will last for generations to come.

The Path Forward: How You Can Get Involved

Judith A. Ewa’s Preserve the Planet series offers more than just a story; it offers a call to action for the young and the young at heart. Through engaging narratives, powerful illustrations, and thought-provoking activities, Judith’s books inspire children to look at the world with a sense of responsibility and empowerment.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or simply someone who wants to inspire the next generation, Judith’s books provide an accessible and effective way to teach environmental responsibility. By supporting her work, you’re not just purchasing a book; you’re investing in a brighter, greener future for our planet.

One of the winning entries was from children’s author, JUDITH A. EWA, whose book titled BIBI SAVES THE HONEY BEES won in the CHILDREN’S, SCIENCE, NATURE & HOW IT WORKS CATEGORY.

“The Global Book Awards aim to recognise talented authors who have not received the recognition they deserve, whether in traditional publishing or in self-publishing.

In this modern age of publishing, books need to be appraised not only by their content and writing style, but also by the way they present and market themselves to the prospective buyer, whether that is in the good ratings it has on important stores like Amazon, its book cover and description, or the number of reviews it has collected. They must also appeal to new readers so part of the evaluation included a survey asking avid readers to select the top 5 books they enjoyed the most.

The awards are grouped by category and divided in Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Award Finalists.” For additional information on winning authors, titles and award finalists, click on the link below:
