One Child, One Planet: Inspiration for the Young Conservationist (2009)

      One Child, One Planet: Inspiration for the Young Conservationist by Bridget McGovern Llewellyn, (2009) is a beautiful book about caring for our planet. "So far as scientists know, earth is a special place. As mankind's favorite planet, we should treat her with kindness and grace." The text introduces climate change, greenhouse gases, melting icebergs, and global warming. Readers learn about using less water, planting trees, and turning off lights in the house. "Three big favors Mother Earth asks: reduce, Reuse, Recycle." The final few pages list actions that children and adults can do for Earth. The photographs by Carl R. Sams II & Jean Stoick are beautiful. The book refers to a website; but I found it no long active.
