Discover Rachel Carson's big ideas about protecting ecosystems and ways even the youngest kids can help, too!
Even little children can make a positive impact on the environment. Rachel Carson was an environmentalist who studied the way the land, plants, and animals interact with each other, beginning when she was a child. She noticed that everything is connected, and all of nature must stay healthy for living things to thrive. When she realized that the chemicals people used outdoors were making plants, animals, and even other people sick, she began teaching others about the ecosystems, and how we must take care of them to keep the Earth balanced.
Kids will see, through Rachel’s curiosity and passion for all creatures, that even seemingly small choices can have big consequences on the world around them.
Look for all of the books in the Big Ideas for Little Environmentalists series: Conservation with Jane Goodall, Restoration with Wangari Maathai, and Preservation with Aldo Leopold.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This installment of the Big Ideas for Little Environmentalists board book series centers American author, conservationist, and marine biologist Rachel Carson (1907–1964), whose work brought to light pesticides' detrimental impact on the Earth. "When Rachel noticed that some ecosystems were changing and that animals and plants were getting sick and disappearing, she asked why," McQuerry explains in clear, straightforward diction, tracing the author's thoughts on nature from childhood onward, with interspersed questions directing the audience to consider their own paths: "What part of nature do you like to watch and learn about?" In a blocky, round-eyed, thin-limbed style resembling Peppa Pig, Rosenthal offers boldly geometric art, with children of varying abilities and skin tones participating in protesting and trash pickup along the intertidal zone. Plants the seeds of environmentalism for listeners new to the subject. Publishing simultaneously: Conservation with Jane Goodall, Preservation with Aldo Leopold, and Restoration with Wangari Maathai. Ages up to 3.
