2. Lucy recommends Greta and the Giants, inspired by Greta Thunberg, as well as Not for me, please!: I choose to act green. This is a book about one boy’s journey to take action.

3. Robert has shared his 3 picks below:

Listen to the Land Speak, We Are Nature and Ireland’s Trees. Why not check them out and see what you learn?

4. Lukasz has written a whole blog post with several great book recommendations- it’s brilliant!  read it here.

5. Sheila recommends This Is Our World: From Amazon to Alaska – Meet 20 Children Just Like You. This book gives a wonderful picture of how children in different parts of the world experience their day to day.
