Earth Day Read Alouds
22 April
Earth Day is an excellent opportunity to talk to children about how they can help our planet, and Earth Day read alouds are excellent tools for showing kids how to get involved, from learning about the impact of recycling and plastic pollution to protecting wild animals and natural habitats.
Below are some Earth Day books I have written on various topics, including plastic pollution and the importance of recycling, green energy sustainability, and the butterfly cycle. I hope these help to inspire the young environmentalists in your life!
