"This book is a gift not just to the kids who will hear it but to the adults who will read it to them. It is honest about the challenges we face without being scary, it is biblical about our call to action without being preachy, and it is practical about how to respond without being prescriptive. Everyone who encounters this book will be empowered to find the joy of serving and protecting our neighbors and God's good creation!” —Rev Kyle Meyaard-Schaap, VP of Evangelical Environmental Network, author of Following Jesus in a Warming World
"This book will give children a sense of direction to respond faithfully to climate change and answer the call God gives us to take care of creation!" —Rev Emily Stirewalt, Church of the Resurrection
Through simple prose and multiple verse from the Bible, author Amy Houts explains to kids that everyone, all human beings, must work together to save the Earth by reversing the effects of hundreds of years of human-created environmental damage.
From writing letters to elected officials to recycling and saving water at home, kids are encouraged to make changes and to ask others to do so as well.

Love the book, the printing, the details, the vibrant colors.
I bought copies for our preschool!
Easy and fun to read to my toddler with a great message.
This picture book is simple, Bible-focused, and hope-filled. It tells the story of earth from creation, and how people used what God put on the earth to make all kinds of amazing inventions. It's very clear that what people have done have polluted the air and contributed to climate change, and that, as Christians, we need to care because climate change impacts PEOPLE.
Beautiful book, text and illustrations are so well done. Engaging stories for a 6 year old.
This book was a gift and I was very impressed when it arrived. Full of wonderful Scripture verses and beautiful illustrations. Very well done.
The content is excellent and illustrations rich. So glad to have found Bushel and Peck books!
I love this book! Not only are the illustrations beautiful but the text clearly explains the responsibility we have to care for the Earth and gives clear examples of ways we can help. A great resource for parents and children -- not just for Earth Day, but for EVERY day:)
I highly recommend this beautiful book! My kids love reading it and the illustrations are so lovely.
This is a brave and beautiful book that encourages children to take care of the one created world we have to live in. I appreciate the thoughtful details, beautiful illustrations and way that it engages my children!
This book is a good word for our children and the church. It brings a deeply-needed message of active hope, one that we desperately need for our hurting world. I especially love how the messages are deeply rooted in scripture, inviting us to explore alongside our kids how we're called to love and care for God's good creation.
A great mix of Bible teachings and taking care of our Earth. Kid-friendly artwork and back matter with tips for fighting for the planet make this a spot-on book!
This beautiful book is for all of us who care about our Earth. It shows how God wants us to join with other people everywhere to keep our Earth safe and fight climate change. It is filled with beautiful illustrations as well as practical ideas. As a great-grandmother, I am so glad to see that youngsters will be inspired to work with others to care for our Earth.
Great book for Earth day or Every day! This book is wonderful. The beautiful art will first draw you in. But, then the words that the author uses to convey her message and the scripture to back it up are what we all need to hear. Kids and adults, alike. We all need to be reminded to take better care of this earth God has let us use. Hopefully, when kids read this they will forever be looking for ways to save our planet for generations to come. I think this book will help all who read it to remember how important it is to take care of our world.
This is such a beautiful book with a beautiful message--that we are all stewards and protectors of God's planet. It includes particularly resonant biblical excerpts, as well as practical tips for conserving the earth's precious resources. This would be a wonderful book for church children's programs and particularly for Earth Day.
My kids love this book, and I do as well. I have always thought that caring for the Earth is something God expects of us. I never understood why anyone that follows the Bible would feel differently. After reading some other reviews, I was curious but found that nowhere in this book are riots mentioned nor encouraged. There are wonderful, doable steps listed for those wanting to make small changes. The illustrations are dynamic too!
This book is fantastic! My kids love the colorful illustrations, which really grabbed their attention. My older child, who was feeling anxious about the future our world, felt hope and empowerment after reading the Bible verses and actionable tips in this book. It's a must-read.
This is a beautiful book with an important message for kids! I love its hopeful and empowering tone, and I so appreciate the way it situates the climate crisis within the context of the Christian faith.
A much-needed textbook for all God’s children! This beautifully illustrated book (reminiscent of the artwork of Eric Carle) begins with creation and continues with quotes from the Bible to explain God’s plan to care for one of his greatest gifts: The Earth. Children will learn to value the land we live on and the air we breathe. This place we call home, like everything we have, requires care. This book explains why there is a need to act and how they can begin to make a difference today. Simple, clear ideas will encourage each one to discover the gifts that they can offer, whether it be recycling a bottle or writing letters to individuals who make decisions. This book inspires and motivates individuals to “fight with faith.”
This book pushes climate change agenda.
I love the premise and message of this book! The illustrations are beautiful and well done. However, several Scriptures were ripped from their context which is hard to get past.
Love the Bible verses. Hate the fact that it essentially tells kids to protest and riot in the street for the environment.
I am so honored to be the author of this book! I love the illustrations, the embossed cover, the end papers, the quality. I hope my book will make a difference in taking care of our Earth.
