Nature
Nature exists in even the most concrete and steel-filled cities. From city parks to your backyard, explore and appreciate the environment this summer with these helpful and visual books.
Children think their earth matters, and they’re aware that our planet is living on borrowed time. Printed using the greenest and most ethical production practices possible, Earth Matters is a pertinent and positive message for what children can do to help save the planet.
Bursting with practical and easy suggestions on how each and every one of us – adults as well as kids – can do something to help the planet by saving energy or recycling. From turning off taps to watering the garden with old bathwater to buying fair-trade products; from advising how to protect our seas by picking up litter on the beach to recycling plastic, Earth Matters shows how each of us really can do something that will make a difference.
As part of our recently launched MADE WITH CARE series, Earth Matters was made using FSC certified paper (Forest Stewardship Council), vegetable-based inks, and without a jacket. To learn more about the entire MADE WITH CARE series, click here.
