Book: The Earth Book, by Todd Parr

Links to Goal: Goal 3 Good Health and Well-Being

Hi Everyone! Thursday, April 22 is the 51^st anniversary of Earth Day! Earth Day is an annual event to honour the Earth and to demonstrate support for environmental protection. We need our earth to feed us, give us shelter and provide a habitat for all living things but most importantly we need it to be healthy and feel well. Therefore, we have decided to link this month Book Club to Global Goal 3 – Good Health and Well-Being. This month’s book club will be suitable for the smallest amongst us: pre-schools, junior and senior infants and first class. The book is accompanied by easy, fun activities and our own storytellers Arran and Linda have contributed some lovely stories and activities of their own.

First, you can listen to The Earth Book by Todd Parr:
