Khalai parla alle piante by Ursula Nafula is best for children aged 4–7. It has no violence, nothing scary, no romance and no bad language.
Seven-year-old Khalai loves the natural world around her. Every day on her way to and from school, she speaks encouraging words to the plants she meets—asking the grass to stay green, the wild flowers to keep blooming, the school tree to offer shade, and the garden hedge to keep everyone safe. Most of all, she eagerly checks on her home orange tree, hoping each morning and afternoon will bring sweet, ripe fruit.
