Hey Reader,
Lately, the shelves at our local food pantry have been pretty bare. Many school groups and organizations are hosting food drives to help fill the shelves to meet the growing demand in our community of those who struggle to keep their own pantries full.
While we can do things like take our youngsters shopping for food donations to help them connect with acts of sharing our abundance, books are always a great way to step into someone else's shoes and better understand why it's so important to help ensure our neighbors have enough to eat.
You may have seen our growing picture book list that supports the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goal #2: No Hunger. We are adding books regularly, and we also just recently included an educational workbook you can use with students in elementary and middle school to discuss the topic of hunger and how we can help reduce the plight of hunger in our communities.
We'd love for you to check it out and let us know what you think!

Moving forward, I will be continuing RGK as the sole owner and creator behind the platform. Since both Raising Global Kidizens and Thoughtfully Sustainable share the same mission of supporting parents and educators with meaningful STEM and sustainability...
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...
