The book is called, Mom, What Can Be Done?, by Lori Nunn and photography by Jason Leo Bantle.
Showing animals from the north, the book tells of the changing environment and asks what can be done to stop the loss of habitat of much of our wildlife. At the end many suggestions are given so kids and families can support the three R's - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle and help curb global warming with their own actions!
This book speaks to me not only as a mother and teacher to my kids but having an environmental studies degree, to many of the concerns I remember writing papers about...many years ago.
Lori is a wonderful writer who is able to teach with prose to kids interesting facts about nature and the environment. I have many of her other books too. Lori lives in Canmore, Alberta.
Jason's photos capture the feeling of the Arctic for this book and also help show that even the animals are worried about global warming. He is also a wildlife biologist and you can learn more about Jason, his many other photos and books at http://www.bantlephoto.com/. He has galleries in Christopher Lake, Sk.; Saskatoon, Sk.; Waskesiu, Sk. and Canmore, Alberta.
Even if you don't have kids, or don't have young kids at home any longer, there is a lot that can be learned from many children's books. They often can have the effect of bringing us back to those basic and important things that can get lost as we "grow up".
Happy Reading..another important R!
Namaste.
