Dear Children of the Earth

Dear Children of the Earth:  A Letter from Home
by Schim Schimmel , Schim Schimmel (Illustrator)
Cooper Square, 1994

Summary:  Mother Earth writes a letter to humans, asking them to care for her and the animals that live on her.  Stunning pictures on each page. 

Lesson:  I read this on Earth Day to talk about how we can help to save the environment.  The students were captivated by the pictures and stayed focus.  Afterwards, we discussed things they could do at school and home to help the environment. Is also a good text for teaching letter writing organization. 

Level:  Kinder - 5th grade
