The Nature Generation is an organization that initiated the Green Earth Book Award in 2005 to recognize environmental stewardship books for children and young adults. Ten years later, more and more books for children are explaining climate change and suggesting helpful, hopeful actions to take. In a library or bookstore, find past Green Earth Book awardees including Earth in the Hot Seat: Bulletins from a Warming World written by Marfe Ferguson Delano (National Geographic Children’s Books, nonfiction); Operation Redwood by S. Terrell French (Abrams/Amulet, fiction); or The Earth Book by Todd Parr, a playful introduction to the concept of “going green.” (Little, Brown; for ages 3-6).
