Some of my favorite children’s books happen to be stories about nature and the changing Earth. Both the writing and the illustrations in these books make them lovely additions to any home library.

This book goes through the seasons, starting with spring. Watching the Earth change colors as well as the family’s activities is fun for kids.
Peter Brown
Showing how one person can make a difference through nurturing and caring is my favorite theme of this book.
Calista Brill & Adelina Lirius
A picture book of the original version, this retelling is stunning and unique. The illustrations are whimsical and are an interesting portrayal of a different time period.
Amélie Callot & Geneviève Godbout
Originally written in French, the soft illustrations and gentle story make this book lovely to read. It is fun to discover who keeps leaving the mysterious gifts.
Tim Hopgood
Having grown up watching the original musical, this book is fun to sing to kids. The illustrations are cheerful and capture the magic of playing in the rain.

This charming story about a little cloud who doesn’t give up is a great reminder to kids about being important – no matter how small you are.
