To celebrate this Earth Day, I’ve gathered a few well-loved books from my family’s shelves. These aren’t just educational reads; they’re truly inspiring journeys through the natural world.
We Are Water Protectors
Here to inspire both children and adults, this book discusses the importance of keeping our water clean and safe. It showcases an Indigenous-led movement from the perspective of a child.
Up in the Garden and Down in the Dirt
From the same series as Over and Under the Snow and Over and Under the Pond. This book explores what happens in a young girl’s garden throughout each season.
They All Saw A Cat
This pleasantly illustrated book shows what a cat may look like from the perspective of different animals, allowing the reader to reflect on the unique ways critters – and humans – may see the world.
I hope these favorite reads from our home inspire your own family’s journey into the wonders of nature and different ways of seeing the world. There’s a whole universe of stories waiting to be discovered! We encourage you to visit your local library or bookstore and ask for their recommendations to continue the adventure.
