The Drones that Learned to Plant

By Beverley Lilliann Alice Joubert

After a devastating war leaves the world in ruins, the skies fall silent-and the machines built for destruction lie broken and forgotten. But in the cracked heart of a dying city, an eleven-year-old girl named Mika finds a fallen drone and dares to imagine a different future.
Instead of fear, she programs it with kindness. Instead of commands to destroy, she teaches it to plant.
With the help of a small group of determined children, Mika begins to reprogram more drones-turning war machines into gentle gardeners, composters, seed-scatterers, and water-bringers. As rooftops bloom and hope takes root, the city slowly awakens.
But not everyone is ready to trust the tools that once brought so much pain.
This is a powerful and hopeful tale of resilience, renewal, and the courage of young dreamers. The Drones That Learned to Plant is a beautifully illustrated middle-grade story that shows how even the most broken things can be transformed-and how peace can be coded, one seed at a time.
