Eco-Libris: Little Green Books are Coming Soon!

This article was originally published on Eco-Libris blog on August 1st.

We love green children’s books and always happy to update you when there’s a new one around. Now we’re even more excited with a new series of them coming soon from Simon & Schuster: Little Green Books.

In exactly 39 days (I counted..) Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing will be launching ‘Little Green Books’, which will be the first eco-friendly line of children’s novelty and storybooks.

The theme of Little Green Books focuses on improving the environment and preserving habitats, aiming to get kids and their parents interested in going green. From recycling and replanting to creating an awareness of endangered animals and much more, the series is looking to plant the seeds for earth-friendly living at an early age.

Do they also walk the talk? Definitely! Each book in the series will be made out of recycled materials and printed with soy ink.

One more thing I like about these books is their beautiful illustrations (from what I can see on the covers) – I always recommend that if you go green, do in in an attractive way, so customers or readers in this case won’t feel like there’s a trade-off and they’re losing something for the extra green they get.

Here’s more information about the first four books on the series that will be launched on September 9 (from the Little Green Books’ website):

Little Monkey

Author: Kimberly Ainsworth

Illustrated by: Michelle Berg

Ages: 3 and under

Description: Meet Little Monkey and his friend Little Panda as they spend their day eating their favorite foods and playing together! Little ones will love to cuddle with this supersoft fleece cloth book that’s made out of cotton and recycled Polartec® fleece.

This book is machine-washable and comes packaged in a chipboard box that’s made from 100% recycled material.

I Can Save the Earth!: One Little Monster Learns to Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle

Little ones will love to cuddle with this supersoft fleece cloth book that’s made out of cotton and recycled Polartec® fleece.

The Polar Bears’ Home: A Story About Global Warming

Kudos to Simon and Schuster for their efforts to go green and provide children with these great books. It follows the new environmental initiative and paper policy they announced on last November, and I hope we’ll see more series like these one in the future, maybe even for the grown-ups!

We will review the books once they’re published so stay tuned. In the meantime you can look for more information on the Little Green Books website – www.SimonSaysKids.com/LittleGreenBooks.
