Picture books for everyone

 

When the Storks Came Home by Isabella Tree

This story is a prime example of how small actions can have a noticeable impact on an environmental issue. In an easy to follow narrative, Tree tells the tale of a small group reintroducing storks to an area, bringing them back from the brink of extinction. It's a tale of people and nature finding a way to live in balance. While it is a fictionalized account of real events, the message is clear. And the afterward lays out how general thrust of the story is true. It's only details that have been changed. Small children will appreciate the simple triumph of the story. For older kids it will encourage thought/conversation about ecology and the preservation of species and habitats.
