The ABC Kids Guide to Loving the Planet by Jaclyn Crupi and Cheryl Orsini is full of bright, practical ideas to help children take small steps that make a big difference. It makes a lovely companion for our Planet Protectors and Zine Zone projects.

This cheerful little guide is packed with bite-sized ideas for caring for the Earth. From building an insect hotel to starting a worm farm, each suggestion is simple, hands-on, and inspiring for children who want to take action. The colourful illustrations and clear layout make it approachable, while the variety of activities ensures there’s something for every type of learner.

Many of the tips in this book connect beautifully to our Planet Protectors project. Learners can try out eco-friendly activities such as observing mini-beasts, exploring composting, or learning about natural cycles. Some projects will need adult support, but that also makes this a great resource for shared family learning — a chance to explore environmental action together.

This book also makes a fun springboard for Zine Zone. Children could create their own A–Z style zine page, choosing one eco-tip (like “C is for Compost” or “R is for Reuse”) and designing it with drawings, collages, or short text. It’s a great way to combine creative self-expression with meaningful action.

With its playful format and practical ideas, The ABC Kids Guide to Loving the Planet is a gentle reminder that even the smallest actions can add up to real change — and that children’s creativity, care, and voices are powerful tools in shaping a brighter future.
