Skyhorse Publishing Young Environmentalist Bundle Contains:
Pierre the French Bulldog Recycles
Like most dogs, Pierre, a French bulldog, loves the excitement of digging things up. He hoards his treasures in a hole in the backyard and then makes space for more. One day Pierre tosses some old stuff into the trash can, but he forgets to recycle. Now, instead of being transformed into new things, that plastic bottle and newspaper will sit in a landfill forever! Well, not if Pierre has anything to do with it. He chases the garbage truck through town, but will he catch it in time, or will those treasures be trash forever?
From author Kate Louise comes Pierre the French Bulldog Recycles—a quirky and fun lesson about the importance of recycling. Bethany Straker’s expressive illustrations make this adorable pup come to life on every page and are sure to get kids thinking about the importance of saving the environment one small piece of trash at a time.
Sky Pony Press, with our Good Books, Racehorse and Arcade imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of books for young readers—picture books for small children, chapter books, books for middle grade readers, and novels for young adults. Our list includes bestsellers for children who love to play Minecraft; stories told with LEGO bricks; books that teach lessons about tolerance, patience, and the environment, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

Bethany Straker is an illustrator of picture books and magazines. Her work often leans toward the humorous and has been described as “somewhere between the stylings of a Steve Fiorilla and a Mike Judge series” (filmmonthly.com). She enjoys the little visual details that others may not notice, loves drawing the grotesque, and champions the underdog.

She lives with her husband and dog, Alf, in Kent, England.

The Day the Great Lakes Drained Away
A fascinating—and entertaining—cautionary story about what the Great Lakes would look like without water. What’s down there (garbage, lost sunglasses). And what would happen with no water (boats would tip over and be stranded).
Each Great Lake is analyzed, with humorous—yet also serious—solutions to the problem. For example, instead of driving for HOURS to get to the other side of Lake Michigan, without water, you could just drive your car across the now-dry lake.
The book also serves as inspiration for readers to take care of these beautiful waters, to make sure they are clean and last forever.
The book contains NOAA maps that show the underwater features of the lakes, and pages of facts about each one.
Charles Ferguson Barker is a geologist and artist. He studied Geology at Arizona State University, Boston University, and attended the University of Michigan's field geology course. Barker visits elementary school classrooms and libraries to educate children about geology. He lives Detroit, Michigan.

Touch the Earth
Jump aboard the White Feather Flier in this unique interactive kids book! Lennon's magical plane can go wherever you want. Just press a button printed on the page, and point the plane up in the air to fly, or down to land it.
The Flier's mission is to transport readers around the world, to engage them in helping to save the environment, and to teach one and all to love our planet.
Fly to the top of a mountain. Send clean water to thirsty people. Dive deep into the ocean (the Flier turns into a submarine!) to pick up pollution and bring back the fish.
Explore the planet, meet new people, and help make the world a better place. An inspiring, lyrical story, rooted in Lennon's life and work, with beautiful illustrations that bring the faraway world closer to young children.
The book includes words to a special poem written by Julian Lennon, specifically for Touch The Earth, the first book in a planned trilogy.
A portion of the proceeds from books sales will go to support the environmental and humanitarian efforts of the White Feather Foundation.
