"A well-thought-out presentation of an important environmental
message." --Kirkus
When the kids in Room 5 write to Earth asking what they can do to help
save our planet, they are delighted to get a letter back. This beautiful
picture book is a celebration of every child's ability to connect with
the environment and make a positive impact.
A monthly exchange of ideas between the kids and Earth becomes a lasting
friendship in this affectionate story about how to be an Earth Hero,
lyrically written by Erin Dealey and gorgeously illustrated by Dilys
Evans Founder Award-winning illustrator Luisa Uribe.
Young readers will learn about environmental conservation, along with
simple things they can do to help care for the planet--like recycling
and reducing energy consumption. There is even a reversible jacket cover
that features a poster printed on the inside with twelve months of Earth
Hero activities. These fun and interactive activities will encourage
children to help protect our planet, not just in honor of Earth Day but
year-round.
Dear Room 5,
Your letter arrived on the wind.
A whisper of hope in the night.
I'm thankful for helpers who care for their planet...
