Read aloud: My Green Day

Save the Earth!

This is the right book at the right time. With the El Nino strikes it's power, we do really feel better with this book. We need ideas on how to save our planet Earth, and this book comes to rescue. The book is about activities that can be done by a preschooler to help make the Earth a better planet to stay. Here are some of the green activities suggested by Walsh:

  1. Making presents/ festive cards from scraps and cut-off papers. Recycle, recycle, recycle.
  2. Finish up the meals.  Walsh stated a fact that we normally throw out one third of our meal.  "If we bought only the food we actually needed to eat, we wouldn't have to grow or transport so much food, which saves lots of energy."
  3. Shorten your shower time to only 3 to 4 minutes. Save our water.
  4. Use nature to play. Products of Earth are so much fun to play with! Play hide and seek in the trees. Playing outside sounds so much fun than well..gadgets.

Walsh sounds practical, especially to kids. It's not about 'you need to crush then recycle your soda cans' kind of thing. It's about fun options to simply have a 'green day'! 


Later on, Iris drew this lovely Earth bigger than the Sun. And I spotted Brazil. 

Iesha has this kind of funny thought. She drew Mummy Earth and Baby Earth. And the Mummy Earth showers her baby with snow, "Kesian Baby Earth panas."
