Children's Nature Guide, a new educational website, is collaborating with Eco-Libris

We are happy to announce a new collaboration with Children's Nature Guide, a new website for families and children with the goal of making nature study and environmental stewardship as fun as it is educational. The site was created by Joseph Yurt, environmentalist, author, and nature educator.

The new website was launched on December 1st and includes a bookstore with "green" books for children, such as KK's Hope:
For Humankind and Home by Josef Partners, Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey, Little Bear by Else Holmelund Minarik,Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey and Salamander Room by Anne Mazer.

And now the website's bookstore is joining Eco-Libris bookstores program and will offer the store's customers the opportunity to plant a tree for every book they buy there and receive our "One tree planted for this book" sticker with their new book!

Here is more about Children's Nature Guide:
