Have I got a great Earth Day giveaway for you. Dot-to-Dot Children’s Books is celebrating Earth Day with Books!!! These books are lovely with colorful charcters and packed with infromation on the animals and area the anmimals are from. We have been reading these books every night and both my girls love them. We can’t help but be intrigued with the elephants or the chimps from these books. My youngest daughter wants to be a veterinarian and these books are just delightful for her. I love the illistrations and the history of what part of the world the animals come from and the area they live in.

Some information on the books origins:
However, these books are more than just, well, books! They are books with heart. Each of the eight books in the series were written by women and school children from Afghanistan, Rwanda, Tanzania, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Republic of Congo, and Nicaragua — their stories are a call for increased awareness for an endangered species in their country. Working together with a number of not-for-profit partners that provide support to the women and children in these countries (like the Somaly Mam Foundation, Wildlife Conservation Society and Help the Afghan Children to name just a few) Dot-to-Dot Children’s Books donates all proceeds from book sales to directly fund the organizations working to empower these woman and children and protect endangered species in the featured countries.

Here is some information on these great books:
Books in the series include:
* Yara’s Amazing Nose – Learn how a nose transforms an identity and a friendship for one of the most unique creatures in the animal kingdom – the lowland tapir!
