April 22^nd marks the 50^th anniversary of Earth Day. The coronavirus pandemic is having an impact on public celebrations in every arena, but you can check the Earth Day website for digital Earth Day events and other ideas about how your students can acknowledge this important milestone this year. You may also want to seek out some of my picture books to share with the young people in your life: Baby Bear Discovers the World; The Cutest Critter; Jump, Little Wood Ducks; and Some Babies Are Wild. They’re illustrated with amazing photos taken by nationally renowned wildlife photographer Stan Tekiela.
