Earth Care: World Folktales to Talk About

Our connection to planet Earth is one of the biggest challenges we face today. We have an important choice to make: when we harm the Earth, we harm ourselves — but when we take care of it, the Earth takes care of us right back. People long ago understood this and shared their wisdom through traditional stories.

This book gathers more than forty tales from thirty different cultures and more from twenty countries and communities. These tales all celebrate nature and the ways we can protect it. The stories explore ideas like “Caring for the Land,” “Caring for Animals,” and “Everything Is Connected." These nature tales help readers learn about respect, responsibility, and kindness.
