Book In Review

       Ten things that I  can do to help my world, is a nice picture book that was written for children ages 3 and up.  It starts training the very young child to start thinking about how he or she impacts the world by the choices that they make.  It encourages them at their level to turn off light, save water when doing personal care; to be mindful of what they throw away and how they treat the other life forms on the planet. 

         By teaching them to make healthier and greener choices at such a young age…this book has the ability to impact their long term actions which can only help them to be more aware of the decisions that they make.  The books pictures are cute and simple; they are very relatable to a young child’s world view.  

          While the lessons appear to be simple it really goes to the core of protecting our planet and our own health.  The book even encourages a little one to choose walking over other forms of transportation.  This is something that needs to be encouraged just as much as the recycling…exercising and taking care of ourselves and the Earth.
