Today is Earth Day 2015! Today my mother, Patricia Newman, and photographer Annie Crawley won the Green Earth Book Award in the children's nonfiction category. This is a NATIONAL award that honors the books that "best inspire young readers to appreciate and care for the environment." To learn more about Patricia Newman and to order her award-winning book, visit her blog or her feature on this blog. To learn more about Annie Crawley, visit her website.
In addition to receiving this award, Plastic, Ahoy! is taught in schools across the world. Fifth-grade students in San Diego now refuse to use single-use plastic. Plastic, Ahoy! has become a call to action for sixth-graders focusing on sustainability. Plastic, Ahoy! is even used to model environmental problem-solving for students in Saudi Arabia.
Congratulations Patricia Newman and Annie Crawley! We are so proud of your accomplishments and all you are doing to save the world!!!
