Perfect Books for Earth Day

The TreeNow through the end of the April, two of Illumination Arts' greenest titles are on sale for $12 each! The Tree, written by Dana Lyons and illustrated by the incredibly talented David Danioth, is the song of an ancient Douglas fir tree, celebrating the cycle of life and the importance of preserving nature. Little Yellow Pear Tomatoes, written by Demian Elaine Yumei and illustrated by Nicole Tamarin, teaches children about the collaboration that goes into growing a single yellow pear tomato. Earth Day is April 22, and both of books would make a splendid addition to your discussions about the environment.

If you're already familiar with these books, look for this year's winners of the Green Earth Book Award: Planting the Trees of Kenya and Varmints. The winners will receive their awards at the Environmental Literature Festival on April 15.
