As we updated you last month, Barefoot Books released on April a great children's book entitled 'Earth Tales', and we're planting a tree for every copy sold in April. And now it continues to May - a tree will be planted for every copy sold this month.
Earth Tales is a very unique book. In this beautiful anthology of folktales, young readers learn how different cultures around the world live in harmony with the rhythms and patterns of nature. Discover how to tread lightly on our precious Earth by following the easy eco-tips and trying out some of the fun and creative activities that accompany each story. This is the perfect gift for any earth-conscious child! You can find our review of the book at http://ecolibris.blogspot.com/2009/04/mondays-green-books-series-part-2-earth.html
And last but not least - we want again to thank Substance, a design agency based in Manchester, England with an interest in environmental issues, which created the beautiful poster you see above in celebration of our partnership with Barefoot Books.
