Big Ideas For Little Environmentalists: Ecosystems with Rachel Carson [Board book]

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.

 “McQuerry explains in clear, straightforward diction, tracing [Rachel Carson'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?' . . . Plants the seeds of environmentalism for listeners new to the subject.”   —Publishers Weekly

“This inspiring board book will teach the littlest readers that curiosity can lead to great things — and that everyone can make small choices that make a big difference.” –Mighty Girl on Ecosystems with Rachel Carson
