Silent Being

In this small and briefly written children’s book, the author encourages the reader to explore the big idea of care and respect for the environment. Poetry lines along with some fine Illustrations and an easy- to-connect index of related words and a preface guide the teachers how to implement environmental activities in the classroom and how to relate them to school teaching and learning programs. This is an indispensable and highly readable children’s book for all caring classrooms.

“It is very touching; I like the concept of flying above everything and looking down at the world. We want all children to learn to fly above the pain in the world, but to have compassion for what they see, as the author does in the poem.” David Booth, Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning, OISE/ University of Toronto.
