Description

“An optimistic tale that manages to be both encouraging yet realistic about how to do some good in your very own backyard.” —KirkusCelebrate the 25th anniversary of City Green—the environmentally and community-conscious classic that shows the wonderful things kids can do when they put their minds to it—with this new paperback edition.Right in the middle of Marcy’s city block is a vacant lot, littered and forlorn. Sometimes just looking at it makes Marcy feel sad. Then one spring, Marcy has a wonderful idea: Instead of a useless lot, why not a green and growing space for everyone to enjoy?With her warm, hopeful text and inviting illustrations, DyAnne Disalvo-Ryan shows how a whole neighborhood blossoms when people join together and get involved.

    • Perfect for Earth Day or any day in Inner City communities.
Format: Hardcover
I've read this book repeatedly to different elementary classes, Kindergarten to 5th Grade, and they always love it, because, in part, they can see their own communities reflected in the events. The illustrations are realistic and very lovely. The story can be enjoyed by all ages, but for the older students, it is especially useful in initiating discussion about how change can be accomplished. There are even details about how to go to City Hall and get granted the use of a vacant lot as a community garden, which is important. Another equally topical book, "Wanda's Roses", tells a similar story, but without that civic involvement factor. Highly recommended. ... show more

Format: Hardcover

And there is the opportunity for them to empathize with the grumpy "old man hammer" when they understand why he is unhappy. Good story! ... show more
