Book of the Month: Heal the Earth


\

I was looking for more interactive picture books and came across this one with a very important message. 

Summary: Encourages the reader to join in an imaginary journey aboard a magical plane, the White Feather Flier, to help sick and hungry children, restore coral reefs and rain forests, and more. Includes a note from the author about The White Feather Foundation.

"Every day there is something new we can do to heal the Earth. If we can all work together, we can make our planet better!"
 Age Range: 3-6

I really liked how the author made sure that kids understand they can make a difference in this world and how this works so well with them being able to press buttons in the book, and tilt the book sideways. Just like a child needs to be active when reading the book, so do they when they want to help the world. 

The illustrations are fresh and the explanations about difficult environmental topics are explained in a simple way for children to understand. 

I especially enjoyed the added poem at the end. I would have loved to have seen even more interaction opportunities in this book.
