What Does It Mean to Be Green?

Age range 4 to 8

Featuring all new artwork and updated facts and backmatter, this brand new edition of What Does It Mean to Be Green? explores all the ways that children can help protect the Earth and its precious resources!

A young boy and girl explore all the different ways they can be green over the course of a day. Drawing on two sides of your paper instead of just one. Walking to the park instead of getting a ride. Turning off the water while you brush your teeth. They discover lots of amazing facts (like how our food travels an average of 1,500 miles to be on our plate!) and realise there’s so much they - and we - can do to help save our world!
