The Little Environmentalists is committed to developing and publishing children’s environmental education materials to promote environmental awareness, appreciation, knowledge, and stewardship. We believe that parents and educators want to teach children about nature and the environment, but may not have access to the tools and information to make learning about the environment exciting and simple. Everyone learns together with The Little Environmentalists!
