Jill loves going on adventures with her grandchildren, she loves to travel and tries to write something every day.

MY THOUGHTS

The book says for ages 9 and up. My boys are 4 and 5. It was still good though. I'm going through and reading it to them and expaining things the best I can to them. They really are learing from it. I think it's good to teach your children about living a more green lifestyle so that they and the generation after them can live in a more beautiful and healthy world. The book has 141 pages filled with lots of information. There are wonderful stories of kids who have made a difference. It really is inspiring.

BUT IT

The book sells on Amazon for $14.99
