Discover Wangari Maathai's big ideas about restoring nature and ways even the youngest kids can help, too!
 

Even little children can make a positive impact on the environment. Wangari Maathai grew up in Kenya, and her childhood was spent playing beneath mugumo fig trees. Over time, most of the trees in her area were cleared and she noticed how that made many people and animals suffer. Wangaari realized that trees are important for the health of the land and all who live on it, so she worked to plant millions of trees to make the land healthy again.
 
Kids will begin to see through Wangaari that it is never too late to help restore damaged land back to what it once was, and they can help their community take care of struggling environments.
 
Look for all of the books in the Big Ideas for Little Environmentalists series: Conservation with Jane Goodall, Preservation with Aldo Leopold, and Ecosystems with Rachel Carson.

“Presents some simple and vital moral truths and should get kids thinking about thinking . . . Sweetly age appropriate . . . [and] teaches children to value truth and honesty.” —Kirkus Reviews on Truth With Socrates

“Egghead fun,” —NY Times Holiday Gift Guide on the box set
 
“This adorable new book series comes in a set of four: Equality, Happiness, Imagination and Truth. Each one features a famous philosopher (think Socrates and Simone de Beauvoir) and has vivid, fun illustrations any baby will love. There are also thought-provoking questions that are appropriate for the toddler set, and each book will inspire your tiniest readers to consider their place in the world.” —RedTricycle.com on the box set
 
“This was a fun book to read with my son and the larger concepts about telling the truth are important ones to start talking about early. I am excited to share this in July!” —Ginger, Bookmarks, NC, on Truth With Socrates

“A fabulous way to introduce equality and fairness to children! I love this board book because it asks questions designed to practice self-reflection. It's never too early to start talking about equality.” —Lindsay A., RJ Julia, CT, on Equality with Simone de Beauvoir
