Eco-Friendly Children's Literature Encourages "Green Awareness" as Facet of Basic Education for Future Generations

Planet Earth Gets Well by Madeline Kaplan addresses the troubled birthright of environmental depletion inherited by the next generation

New York (PRWEB) May 15, 2008 -- Planet Earth Gets Well by Madeline Kaplan, illustrated by Taillefer Long, addresses environmental concerns in a child-friendly format, based on the author's awareness that future generations must be prepared to preserve their planet and its resources.

Full-color illustrations garnish every other page of this creative metaphor in which Planet Earth has a fever--global warming--and to make him healthy again, his human friends must listen to the advice of Earth's mother. The relationship between the health of the planet and the people that live on it is clearly demonstrated for young readers, promoting this awareness as part of their earliest understanding of the world in which they live.

Just as today's children are born into a high-tech society, they also inherit many serious environmental concerns. Planet Earth Gets Well promotes responsibility along with a positive message that parents will be able to pass on to their children at an early age, which the author believes will help create an eco-friendly and proactive generation.
