ABC Earth-Friendly Me presents 26 things--from Action to Zero waste
and everything in between--that eco-conscious kids and their families
can do to help care for the Earth.
Pairing aspects of eco-friendly living with each letter of the
alphabet, this durable board book is not only perfect for teaching
young children their ABCs, but also for encouraging them to be aware
of the impact they have on the environment.
The content empowers young children, showing them that even their
small choices make a big difference. The engaging illustrations, fun
rhyming text, and simple concepts introduce children to an eco-friendly
lifestyle. To help, kids can plant flowers for pollinating bees, eat
more fruits and vegetables, share or swap old toys, help their parents
air-dry laundry, and learn about animals and their habitats.
Environmental terms throughout, such as "pollination,"
"biodegradable," "pollution," and "preservation," have
easy-to-understand, kid-friendly definitions in the back of the
book. A spread elaborating on additional things kids can do, such as
riding a bike, creating a new toy from old stuff, and hunting for a
unique pre-owned item at the thrift store, shows easy and fun ways to
help out!
ABC Earth-Friendly Me shows that every member of the family--even the
smallest one--can protect our planet Earth. This is the perfect book
to inspire the next generation of eco-conscious kids, while teaching
them the alphabet at the same time. Learning the ABCs has never been so
green and so much fun!
The ABC for Me series presents a world of possibilities from A to Z
and everything in between! For all little kids with big dreams, the
endearing illustrations and mindful concepts in this series pair each
letter of the alphabet with words that promote big dreams, inclusion,
acceptance, healthy living, and other key concepts important to
emotional well-being. Other books in this series include:
