What’s It Like, Living Green? Kids Teaching Kids, by the Way They Live, Wins National Book Award!

(I-Newswire) May 27, 2009 - There's a lot of talk about living green these days, but does anyone actually do it? In What's It Like, Living Green? Kids Teaching Kids, by the Way They Live, you will read about families who live green, such as the Davila family from North Chicago, IL., (https://www.recyclemeorganictees.com/). This family has made recycling a family project, beginning with their choices at the grocery store. The author will introduce you to Devon and Jessica Green from Stuart, Florida, who not only run their own recycling business with up to one hundred customers, they give much of their time and money to help community projects. You will learn about kids who are making a difference for the environment, such as Melissa Poe, who started Kids For A Clean Environment (Kids F.A.C.E.), when she was nine-years-old. Kids from the US, Canada, and Costa Rica are making a difference, and so can you. The book cover and inside illustrations are done by seventeen-year-old Emma Austin from Queensland, Australia.

Jill Ammon Vanderwood is a mother and grandmother from Utah, who wants to help this generation get out there and make a difference. Jill is the author of three other books for children, including her Through the Rug magical adventure series and Stowaway: The San Francisco Adventures of Sara the Pineapple Cat.
