Have You Jumped In the Water Lately?
Hey Reader,
It's getting hot in here. And it's hot out there. (And with climate change, it's not getting any cooler). That means we really need clean water and plenty of it. Water helps keep our bodies and our planet cool. When it's hot out, clean water also helps keep us hydrated and healthy. And who doesn't love a dip in a refreshing pool or body of water in the warm weather... assuming it's clean, right?
If you haven't checked it out yet, take a peek at our list of picture books all about clean water and protecting the planet's water supply from contamination. All of the books on the list align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #6 - Clean Water and Sanitation.
Best of all, we've created printable book lists you can take to the library so you can find all the books (without dragging out our phone). Cheers to screen-free time at the library with your youngsters.

Hey Reader, As you can guess from the lists of picture books we rounded up related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we're big fans of books around here. A few months ago, Jen started paying her kids to read (for reasons beyond bribing them to stick their noses in books). It's not for everyone, but it's worked out pretty well for her and her boys, who are 10 and 12. It's also apparently a pretty hot topic with a lot of opinions. We'd love to know if you'd pay your kids to read. Check...
Hey Reader, With objectives so broad and encompassing so many facets of life, it's no surprise that pursuits related to the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals sometimes intersect in complicated ways. And in the United States, we're seeing that right now in a high-profile labor strike by autoworkers who work for car manufacturers. Among several points of contention, auto workers are concerned that a transition from traditional internal combustion engine cars to electric vehicles...
Hey Reader, We're working on updating all of our book lists with more picture books to share with your young learners. While we've been on the topic of clean energy, we recently updated our book list for that Sustainable Development Goal. Go check it out if you haven't seen it yet. We also updated the printable list that includes a sheet you can bring to the library to grab a few of the books on the list (without having to dig through your phone or computer for the titles).
