Thursday thirteen great books

LowImpactWeek.jpg

Since this is the last day of Low Impact week I wanted to combine it with the Thursday Thirteen and share some great books that I think any parent wanting to help their children understand the environment should have. I was lucky enough to be tipped off about a bookstore called Barefoot Books. Why this book store rocks my socks is that the books are beautiful, delightful, and geared towards the hippie in all of us. The latest spring catalog is called The Whole World its in our hands! Support Global Conservation. So you can already guess that this is a bookstore I can really get behind. So I want to share my top 13 book picks, including some of my favorites from Barefoot Books.

(Books are in order from young children’s to young adult)

1. Whole World A percentage of sales from this title benefits global conservation.
2. Herb, The Vegetarian Dragon
3. Home for a Tiger, Home for a Bear
4. My First Green Book
5. A River Ran Wild: An Environmental History
6.Going Green: A Kid’s Handbook to Saving the Planet
7.Earth Book for Kids: Activities to Help Heal the Environment
8.50 Simple Things Kids Can Do to Save the Earth
9.A Green World? (Viewpoints)
10.Environmental Science: High-School Science Fair Experiments
11.Water Wars: The Fight to Control and Conserve Nature’s Most Precious Resource
12.The Myth of Progress: Toward a Sustainable Future
13.M C Higgins the Great: With Connections (HRW library)
