Dear Children of the Earth

Reach for this book when your child expresses a budding concern for the environment or asks big questions about how animals live and where we all come from. It is a perfect choice for the child who feels a deep, soulful connection to nature and needs to hear that their instinct to protect the Earth is shared by the planet itself. Written as a heartfelt letter from Mother Earth, the story personifies our world to explain the delicate balance of life. It touches on themes of empathy, global citizenship, and stewardship, making it an ideal bridge between simple animal stories and more complex ecological concepts. Parents will appreciate the gentle, reverent tone that manages to address environmental responsibility without being alarmist. It is best suited for children ages 4 to 10 who are ready to view themselves as part of a larger, interconnected family of living things.
