Teach Your Children It’s Easy To Be Green With Green Start and Teenie Greenies Eco-Inspired Books
Children’s books are to be treasured and so are natural resources, but the two don’t typically go hand-in-hand. A simple way to cherish both while instilling this important value in the next generation is to buy books from Green Start and Teenie Greenies.
Here are a few of my favorites from these sustainable, eco-friendly book collections:
Green Start
“This Earth-friendly series is made from 98% post consumer recycled materials and printed with eco-friendly inks. Each hardcover book’s simple, nonfiction content inspires children to love and respect the natural world, and the parent spread at the back of each book shows how easy it is to practice (and teach!) Earth-friendly habits right at home.”
In the Garden
Amazon Description: Have fun teaching your child about the healthy foods that they can grow right at home and how eating them helps them grow, too.
Animals Everywhere
Amazon Description: From dusty deserts to snowy mountain peaks, animals live in very different places all around the world. Your child will love exploring all the incredible lands that animals call home and learning more about different habitats.
Teenie Greenies
“Teenie Greenies is a board book series that sets forth the notion that sunshine, clean air, fresh food, love, and good books are all that parents need to grow their own Teenie Greenie.”
The Little Composter
Amazon Description: HOW DOES YOUR garden grow? With apple cores and carrot tops and wiggly worms all in a row! A young child builds a compost in this back-tothe-earth lift-the-flap board book. Toddlers will love these seven spreads of playful rhymes and illustrations that show how much fun working with dirt can be.
Eco People on the Go!
Amazon Description: Cheer up, Kermit—now it’s easy being green! Toddlers discover environmentally friendly ways to get around in this adorable lift-the-flap board book with playful rhymes and illustrations by author-illustrator Jan Gerardi. People go green as they zoom and glide or share a ride through seven on-the-go spreads before stopping to plant trees to help the earth.
Not only do these children’s books offer green themes, they are printed on recycled materials with nontoxic inks. So, give (or DONATE) these sweet, eco-inspired stories to a local school, library, a relative, or your own cutie pie(s). You can even take it one step further and buy them used.
