Give a Green Reading Gift for the Kids
Canadian
author C.A. Lessard has written a really cool series of environmental whodunits
– short stories about "Granola Graham & The Earthsavers - grade school
eco-sleuths". In each one, there is an environmental misdemeanour, usually
committed by Dennis W. Clearcut and his gang known as the Tuffs.
Twins Gwenda and Granola Graham, along with their earth-saving pals, are
challenged to solve the mystery and expose the guilty party. The readers
(kids 5-13) are invited to read-along and try to solve the mystery before The
Earthsavers do. And along the way they end up learning about an
environmental issue.
This link takes parents to a Summerhill & Earthsavers website where the
1-year/12-story subscription can be purchased for $20 with $10 going to the Summerhill
Foundation.
Each month, an email is sent to subscribers letting them know a new story is
ready. After the child has read the story, they can send feedback or pass
on a link to friends inviting them to subscribe and become an Earthsaver too.
A very cool green reading gift this holiday season!
