A charming non-fiction book that promotes a caring attitude and an understanding of the ways even little ones can make a difference to the planet. The book explores topics such as litter, waste, energy use and plastic. In a very gentle way, it encourages children to be green and appreciate the planet and is an ideal starting point for discussing environmental issues.

It is part of a series ‘I care about’ for children aged 4+. The titles are: My Friends, My Planet, Animals, My Family, My Growing Brain, My Body. The illustrations by Michael Buxton are quirky and fun and are designed to inspire a child’s imagination.
