This Little Environmentalist is the seventh book in the series This Little in board books. Featuring double page spreads on ten people who worked to help save the planet, This Little Environmentalist will start arly readers thinking about how humans impact the environment and what one person, no matter how small or how young or where they live can change our planet for the better. It is a breath of fresh air that the people featured are from many different countries including Brazil, Kenya, India, Canada, the USA and Sweden.
Featuring Rachel Carson who changed the way farmers sprayed for pests, saving bees and birds and Sylvia Earle who studied the ocean and helped keep our ocean animals and plants thriving. Vandana Shiva started seed banks and encouraged farmers and others to save seeds and share them to ensure the future of crops. Autumn Peltier fought for clean water for everyone, rich or poor. With an emphasis on women in environmentalism, this is an exciting first read. The last pages feature seventeen more important people who have helped save our planet with a blank spot for "you!"
Highly recommended for little hands and hearts!
Wow, these books are really awesome! I would like to read all of these books.
