Whether you read them enough to make them worth buying, or just borrow for a quick read from the library, books are another great resource for parents wanting help in taking care of the environment and their families. There’s so much to know!
Free Range Kids
I was lucky enough to be sent a review copy of this one for one of my other sites. Great book, and while it’s not about environmentalism, there’s a lot to it that can be combined with teaching kids to care about the environment.
Healthy Child Healthy World: Creating a Cleaner, Greener, Safer Home
I reviewed this one a while ago. Lots of tips on living cleaner and greener, and broken into separate sections so it’s easy to pick the areas you want to get started with.
Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder
Another book I got to review a while back. Lots of fun and a great reminder of how very important it is to get your family outside.
Books I haven’t read that sound promising:
The Green Teen: The Eco-Friendly Teen’s Guide to Saving the Planet
The Green Parent: A Kid-Friendly Guide to Environmentally-Friendly Living
Raising Baby Green: The Earth-Friendly Guide to Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Baby Care
The Green Parent is an extensive guide for parents who would like to green up their family’s life style and teach their children about living green.
