This gorgeous creature lives down the street in our neighborhood;
sometimes, in the dead of night, I can hear him sharing his story.
I worry, sometimes, about what all of our development
is doing to the natural habitats for birds and other wildlife,
so I'm grateful to set aside time to thank Mother Earth
and ponder ways in which we can conserve our resources.
One way to do that is creating awareness through books; here I am years ago, reading What Does It Mean To Be Green? with some Kinder friends.
Other Earth Day picture books that might interest you include:
One of my favorite ways to save our planet is to plant trees.
We brought this little transplant home to TX
from my Dad's eaves trough in Wisconsin a decade ago.
When I went to take her picture this morning, a gust of wind
helped her top leaf wave to me in all of her splendor.
Oh, how I have loved watching this little sapling
struggle and flourish to become this tall treasure.

I am always looking for new titles to add to my classroom library for Earth Day! I like to celebrate Earth Day by sharing stories with my students, planting flowers and enjoying nature.
ReplyDeleteFrom Barbie Monty: My students and I spent Earth Day 2021 in a special livestream with the World Wildlife Fund and their youth ambassador, Eve Downing. She shared ways students could take action in their local communities to help our environment. It was such a great way to spend Earth Day! A great "Making-Every-Day Earth Day Strategy" for me would be inspiring my students each day to TAKE ACTION to make our world a better place!
