Be Green! Mindful Kids Global Citizen

Our increasingly endangered planet is encouraging many young people to take more interest in the world around them and the vast global community. So here are two thoughtful and informative activity books for children who want to sustain and protect the world we live in, and to learn just what we can do to be more caring and kind to those who share our planet. Many schools are now introducing mindful techniques to the classroom and this spring Studio Press have published two new carefully created activity books in their Mindful Kids series. Be Green! - written by Mandy Archer and illustrated by Katie Abey - is a superb Mindful Kids Global Citizen activity book for young people to colour, doodle and DIY their way to living a more responsible, sustainable life. Using creativity to explore the environmental issues facing planet Earth, children can discover how to make a difference, and learn top tips on how to protect the environment for future generations. Be Green! features the charming and quirky illustrations of Katie Abey, a UK-based illustrator. Her quirky pictures will keep the reader entertained and focused as they work through the book, or youngsters can simply dip into the pages for ten minutes of calm colouring.

With their wide range of activities, thoughtful information and a helpful introduction and notes for grown-ups, these books are ideal for use both at home and at school.
