Inspiring Children's Books About the Environment

Erin P. said:  Most people are not familiar with the story of Katherine Sessions, but your kids may find her fascinating. This book shares how Sessions, when she moved to San Diego, was disappointed with the lack of green space and trees. She took it upon herself to turn San Diego into an everlasting oasis. This picture book is sure to be a favorite for your kids.

Erin P. said:  This book is part of the Little Green series of books about the environment and conservation that aim to teach kids how to be eco-friendly. The books are even printed on 100% recycled paper, which is a great thing to be able to share with your kids. The story will help teach your kids the importance of turning off lights and using minimal amounts of water. It should hopefully stimulate some curiosity within your kids about the environment!

Erin P. said:  In this book with no words, by Alison Jay, a girl and a bee go on an adventure where they learn about simple actions that even children can do to make a positive impact on the environment. Gorgeous illustrations!

Erin P. said:  Author Monica Wellington wrote this cute little story about Gabby and her Grandma spending time together and doing good things for the environment, including recycling and using homemade cloth bags while shopping! I like it because it introduces simple, environmentally-helpful ideas that even little readers can implement in their own lives.

Erin P. said:  The students have lots of questions when Miss Fox shows up to school on her bicycle. She tells her class that she is "going green." Her classroom, full of animal students, is inspired by her choice and they all come up with things they can do to make a positive difference for the environment. Eileen Spinelli's book is a great way to introduce simple ideas that even kids can implement in their own lives so that all of us can go green together!
