Introducing Green Literacy, a way of teaching that cultivates critical thinking, reading, and writing about environmentalism through children's books and digital media. Students analyze multiple perspectives, engage in hands-on activities, and come to a deeper understanding of environmental issues. Supported through teaching models and thematic units, educators empower themselves and their students to develop environmental awareness toward sustainable change.


K-5 teachers can use this book to:
  • Explore environmental justice issues using familiar stories and digital tools to spark curiosity and new ideas with reading, writing, and drama strategies for engagement
  • Engage students with activities on weather, ecosystems, and how nature connects individuals and develops systems thinking
  • Encourage students to see environmental issues from all angles to deepen their understanding and empathy and move them toward sustainable change
  • Be empowered with seed ideas about environmental issues, including classroom engagement strategies and professional development opportunities
