The Planet We Share

This guide to ecology invites readers to learn more about the multitude and diversity of life on Earth, different types of habitats, the problem of habitat loss, and the concept of conservation. We share the planet with so many other living things, but humans often act as if we're the most important. This volume gently and factually explains why it's important to care for all the creatures that call Earth home--and offers tips for age-appropriate ways kids can do that. The colorful illustrations that fill each page beautifully demonstrate the idea of biodiversity, and the empowering text gives readers tools to protect that biodiversity now and in the future.
