10 Small Things I Can Do to Help My Planet

Sometimes it’s the little things that make a difference--like filling up your reusable water bottle, upcycling old clothes, or any of the other clever suggestions in this eco-picture book with fun die-cut pages and flaps.

Do you bring leftovers for lunch? Or shop for fresh, unpackaged produce at the farmers’ market? Perhaps you opt for a bamboo toothbrush over a plastic one, or take public transportation when you go out? Creativity plays a part, too--in crafty projects like using an eggshell as a little container to grow watercress, or making a wildlife shelter in your backyard. With ten doable suggestions, bright illustrations, and short explanations of how the actions help to protect the earth, Melanie Walsh shows even the youngest eco-warriors several easy ways to weave green choices into their everyday lives.

Melanie Walsh has written more than forty children’s books, including 10 Things I Can Do to Help My World, My Green Day, Living with Mom and Living with Dad, and Trick or Treat? She is known for her distinctive, child-friendly style, creating flap books and picture books for the very young.
