It's Week and our School Library Service team is celebrating with some of their favourite green books.🌲
Tidy by Emily Gravett

A climate in chaos by Neal Layton
Neal Layton explains what climate change is, what's causing it and why it's dangerous for animals and humans alike, with cartoon illustrations and speech bubbles making it accessible for children from 7 years of age.
Love, the Earth by Frances Stickley and Tim Hopgood
This simple, beautifully illustrated picture book is an introduction to the Earth, and a powerful call to arms to look after the Earth. Ideal for readers of all ages who appreciate the art of collage.
Taking the long way home by Jake Hope, illustrated by Brian Fitzgerald
Normally Zarah and her brother are collected from school by their dad, who rushes them home taking every shortcut. But today, Uncle Jerome is collecting them, and he takes them on 'The long way home'. The children complain at first, but are soon caught up in amazing adventures, as their uncle gets them to use their five senses to conjure up a world of fun and imagination. A picture book story which appreciates the world around us through the use of our senses and imaginations.
