Santa Claus Is Green!
How to Have an Eco-Friendly Christmas
Little Green Books series

by Alison Inches
Illustrated by Wednesday Kirwan

     

Santa has gone green this year and this Christmas picture book shows how children can celebrate the holidays with him in an eco-friendly manner. Not only does this story encourage using less wrapping paper and packaging for Christmas gifts, it also suggests using recycled materials to make Christmas ornaments and gift wrap.

While the elves in Santa's workshop are repairing and restoring used toys, Mrs. Claus is baking up a storm in her kitchen, making tasty goodies that will find their way into children's Christmas stockings and under the Christmas tree.

Of course, the Claus household has a living Christmas tree decorated with popcorn garlands and ornaments fashioned from old holiday cards.

Made from 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper, this green book comes with twenty recycled stickers. At the back you'll also discover a list of twelve ideas for having a green Christmas along with a green website where you can find more tips on being an eco-responsible family.

Part of the Little Green Books series, this green book for green readers is geared toward getting youngsters excited about going green. From recycling and replanting, to creating awareness of endangered animals, these books plant the seeds for Earth-friendly living with the next generation.
