Earth Day
An Alphabet Book
Gary Kowalski
Illustrated by Rocco Baviera
We give thanks for the earth
and its creatures, and are
grateful from A to Z:
For alligators, apricots, acorns, and
apple trees,
For bumblebees, bananas, blue-
berries, and beagles,
Coconuts, crawdads, cornfields,
and coffee,
Daisies, elephants, and flying fish
—from Earth Day: An Alphabet Book
Children and adults will delight in Earth Day, a poem of gratitude that celebrates life on earth. From apricots to groundhogs to junebugs, from quahogs to zinnias, zucchini and zebras, plants and animals come alive with Baviera’s bright and imaginative illustrations. In alphabetical order, the wonders of nature leap from the page, reminding readers that every day is a reason to give thanks and that miracles are as simple as ABC. For ages 3 and up. Fourth in the series of Skinner House picture books.
Praise for Earth Day
“Kowalski’s Earth Day makes devotion as delicious as sun-ripened berries, as awe-inspiring as a summer storm. Readers of all ages will be grateful for this exuberant appreciation of nature’s myriad miracles.”
—Ruth Horowitz, author, Bat Time
