SAVING OUR PLANET- A Recycling Guide for Young Readers
by Avishag Amir
Saving Our Planet not only teaches us about garbage disposal and recycling—it’s about much more than that.This insightful book strives to make a difference in our lives and future through the youngest generation. With the help of Rocco the raccoon, Edgy the hedgehog, beautiful illustrations, and a pinch of humor, both children and adults can benefit from its message. It is a wonderful book for educating the young, as well as an enjoyable bed-time story. Why should we encourage our children to care about pollution and recycling? Well, it’s not that we should… we have to! Essentially, we only have one planet, and it has been terribly damaged over the last century by humanity—and along with it, our own and our children's future has suffered too! This is why we have to give our kids all the information and provide encouragement: "If I keep it clean And you keep it clean And everyone pitches in, We’ll keep our planet green." Avishag Amir, the author, is the proud mother of three girls. As a puppeteer-artist, she owns her own puppet show that puts on seventeen different plays, some of which she wrote herself. The first act from one of her plays is presented to you here, as a personal gift! The author is also the proud daughter of an important contributor to Hebrew literature and culture, the celebrated poet, writer, and translator Aharon Amir (1923–2008), who translated over 300 books into Hebrew, including English and French classics. 24 pages, full-color hardcover, beautiful color drawings, 22X23 cm
