Think Green! by Jeanine Behr Getz is a beautifully illustrated book (illustrations by Jenny Nightingale) that not only tries to teach children how to be more eco-conscious, it is in itself, an eco-friendly product.

“Empowering messages come in many packages, and Think Green! is a wonderful journey to excite and inspire children about small changes that make a big difference. Not only is this a story about children greening their lives, it is a story about community involvement, ecological systems, hopefulness, and friendship. What a great book to help all children believe in making a positive difference and to understand that they are part of the solution.”

“One book that I have really enjoyed reading to my children is the book Think Green! by Jeanine Behr Getz. The book is bright, colorful and conceptually easy for my children to understand. The book has a personal feel with a character call Millicent introducing all of her friends and how they can act and think green. My son really loved this!”
