Learning Through Literature about Earth Day

Earth Day is celebrated around the globe on April 22 each year. It is a time for people to consider our impact on the Earth and to commit ourselves to making the Earth a cleaner and healthier place to live. My Happy Homeschool recommends learning through literature about Earth Day with the following books:

 

Earth Day by Clara Cella is a non-fiction book that shares information about the history of Earth Day – when it began, who started it, and how people have responded to it. Readers will learn about ways they can care for the Earth. The book includes fun and simple activities kids can do to learn about different kinds of recyclable materials.

 

True Green Kids by Kim McKay features 100 simple solutions to the environmental challenges facing kids today. This book offers fun and easy ways to make a difference in our local and global environment. For anyone who wants to help save our planet – here’s your chance!

 

The Lorax by Dr. Seuss is a children’s book addressing economic and environmental issues. When the greedy Once-ler cuts down the lovely Truffula Trees for the sake of manufacturing, the fuzzy, yellow Lorax speaks up “for the trees have no tongue”.

Happy Homeschooling!
