Have You Jumped In the Water Lately?
Hey Reader,
It's getting hot in here. And it's hot out there. (And with climate change, it's not getting any cooler). That means we really need clean water and plenty of it. Water helps keep our bodies and our planet cool. When it's hot out, clean water also helps keep us hydrated and healthy. And who doesn't love a dip in a refreshing pool or body of water in the warm weather... assuming it's clean, right?
If you haven't checked it out yet, take a peek at our list of picture books all about clean water and protecting the planet's water supply from contamination. All of the books on the list align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #6 - Clean Water and Sanitation.
Best of all, we've created printable book lists you can take to the library so you can find all the books (without dragging out our phone). Cheers to screen-free time at the library with your youngsters.

Hey Reader, Simply put—Rachel Carson changed the way we see the world. She was a scientist, writer, and environmentalist who helped people understand that protecting nature protects us all. Her work led to real change, inspiring generations to care for our planet. So, how can we introduce kids to her legacy in a fun and engaging way during Women’s History Month? Jess rounded up some fantastic children’s picture books that bring her story to life! 📚✨ These books are perfect for sparking...
Hey Reader, You probably use Amazon. Over 200 million people have Amazon Prime accounts and many more shop without prepaying for shipping. Amazon has a role in our consumption (larger than many of us would like, I suspect). Sometimes, we send you to Amazon for supplies for projects we share. But maybe we can try to buy things from places other than Amazon? Our co-founder, Jen, recently shared a post on her newsletter, Sage Neighbor, about breaking up with Amazon Prime. She's convinced it's...
Hey Reader, As you can guess from the lists of picture books we rounded up related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we're big fans of books around here. A few months ago, Jen started paying her kids to read (for reasons beyond bribing them to stick their noses in books). It's not for everyone, but it's worked out pretty well for her and her boys, who are 10 and 12. It's also apparently a pretty hot topic with a lot of opinions. We'd love to know if you'd pay your kids to read. Check...
