How the World Got Better
Written by Greg Flint
Illustrated by Claire Flint Last
Around the fire one night in the not-so-distant future, a lovely old couple tells their precocious great-granddaughter what happened when the people of the world finally answered one magical question.
Warm, wise, and right on time, How the World Got Better calls to the hero in each of us to answer that same simple question:
​
“How would you LIKE this world to be?”
Delightfully illustrated, designed, and published by the author’s daughter, this parable for our time combines a heartwarming bedtime story with the way it could come true.
About the Author
Greg Flint, a lifelong artist, stonemason and working man, lives in Sandpoint, Idaho in a sweet old converted school bus. He is blessed with wonderful kids, grandkids, friends, and ever more trust in life. An old man now, he still plays with rocks and dirt and cares for trees. He walks everywhere, loves conversation, and tells stories. Flint plays a big drum and studies the human story—a form of time travel.
