Today is National Recycling Day! I thought I would share five books that help kids get into the spirit of recycling. Enjoy! 

Written by Erin Dealey 
Illustrated by Luisa Uribe 
New York, NY : Harper, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers, 2020.

This book is about a group of students who write letters to Earth to share what they are doing to help. Then Earth responds and tells the kids how what they have done has been helpful. 


Written by Eileen Spinelli 
Illustrated by Rogério Coelho 
New York, NY : WorthyKids, 2020.

This is a simple counting book that talks about the earth and simple ways you can help recycle (like giving worn out towels to shelter cats).


By Henry Cole 
New York : Scholastic Press, 2020.

In this wordless story a brown paper bag is made from a tree and is used over and over again through the years by one family until it becomes a container to plant a new tree. 


Written by Eun-Ju Kim 
Illustrated by Ji-Won Lee 
Minneapolis, Minnesota : Scribble, an imprint of Scribble Publications, 2020.

This book talks about plastic and all the good and bad that it does in the world—from how it helps us stay healthy to how it doesn’t biodegrade and thus stays around too long in dumps and the oceans. 




By DK
New York, NY : DK Publishing, 2020.

This book has all sorts of fun craft projects that could be made with materials found around the house. The book also explains the reasons why reusing or recycling things is helpful for the earth.
