　　To live happily on Earth, in harmony with nature, and for the "seven generations" to come, this book advocates the spirit of Permaculture and shares three principles that can be practiced in daily life:
　　1 Cherish and protect the Earth
　　2 Respect all people
　　3 Share with others, give and receive

　　The "Seven Generations" is a wisdom from Native American life, reminding us: "Whatever you do, consider the possibilities for your great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren's time." Because we didn't "receive" the Earth from our ancestors; we "borrowed" it from our future children, and what we borrow should be returned in a better state.

　　Author Sawyer Kai (ソーヤー海), founder of Tokyo Urban Permaculture, collaborates with illustrators and writers to propose concrete and feasible sustainable living ideas in this book, emphasizing "you can start at home" and "wisdom that can be absorbed by looking at illustrations":
　　■ Combining lively illustrations, in the form of a knowledge picture book, each spread opens a specific theme.
　　■ From diet, planting, labor, play, and sensory aspects, experience the endless mysteries of nature.

　　The eight chapters in the book include: Eating (food education), Doing (creation and consumption), Playing on the Edge (nature exploration and observation), Designing (ecosystems and relationships), Giving and Receiving (the spirit of gifting and expressing gratitude), Practicing Stillness (observing the heart), Sustainability (how the Earth and society can be sustainable), and Lifestyle (choices for survival and living).
