Barefoot Book of Earth Tales

Exploring the treasures of our Earth through story and complementary craft activities, this anthology is a book to inspire, treasure, and celebrate. Children will discover how to tread lightly on our Earth by following the easy eco-tips and by trying out some of the fun and creative activities that accompany each story. Children will discover how the residents of the Kingdom of Benin deep within the Nigerian rainforest consume less and conserve more; how the Comanche Indians respect Mother Earth by giving more than receiving; amongst Bali's coral reefs and volcanic mountain peaks is the lesson that everything in nature is connected. This is a "Sunday Times" Children's Book of the Week, April 2009.
