The City Sings Green & Other Poems About Welcoming Wildlife: A Hopeful Picture Book About Rewilding Urban Habitats for Kids (Ages 4-8)

A unique and artful blend of poetry, science, and activism, this picture book shows how city dwellers can intervene so that nature can work her magic. Perfect for fans of The Curious Garden and Harlem Grown. In Oslo, Norway: citizens create a honeybee highway that stretches from one side of the city to the other, offering flowerpots, resting spots, bee boxes, and beehives—even water fountains—every eight hundred feet. In the Bronx, New York: a community rallies to clean their river and cheers at the return of the long-lost beaver population. In Busselton, Australia: people make a rope bridge that swings high above speeding cars, creating a safe path for tree-hopping possums and squirrels alike. Through a mix of lyrical poems, real-life success stories, and bouquet-bright artwork, The City Sings Green explores the environmental impact of humans and showcases the many ways that we can rewild cities across the globe. Together, we can welcome nature back! Detailed back matter includes sources, links to explore, ways to help, and recommended reading.
