Praise for the Big Ideas for Little Environmentalists series:
"This valuable series introduces young readers to celebrated
environmentalists, describing their awareness and care for nature
as children to their inspirational work as adults to protect the
Earth. . . Children need to hear these names early
on." —School Library Journal on Conservation with Jane
Goodall
"McQuerry explains in clear, straightforward diction, tracing
[Rachel Carson's] thoughts on nature from childhood onward, with
interspersed questions directing the audience to consider their own
paths: 'What part of nature do you like to watch and learn about?'
. . . Rosenthal offers boldly geometric art, with children of
varying abilities and skin tones participating in protesting and
trash pickup along the intertidal zone. Plants the seeds of
environmentalism for listeners new to the subject." —Publishers
Weekly on Ecosystems with Rachel Carson
