Schools
With a clever nod to Charles Dickens’ Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come plus Uncle Sam’s call to action,
A Conservation Tale: Your Planet Needs You offers schools a great opportunity for children and educators to discuss what part they can play to protect our environment.
With the trademark rhyming pattern of the series, the book takes us forward in time to a vision of a scorched, dry, lifeless earth where the gods of the sky, the seas and the earth are searching desperately for a means to save the planet. But is it too late? When an old man passes by, they summon all their powers to send him back to the current day to warn adults and children alike through all means, including social media, about what they need to do in their daily lives so that collectively they can stop the devastation.
As they absorb the colorful and thought-provoking themes in the book, children can then naturally gravitate towards the activities both at the end of the book and on the website to reinforce those messages.
Getting involved
Individual classes, entire schools or school districts can get involved in these broader environmental initiatives in their homes, schools and communities. Perhaps the school takes the lead but actually sees the opportunity to involve the larger community in recycling plastic & cardboard, in planting trees, in saving water or in carpooling?
Partnering with those who share your environmental agenda
Why not consider partnering with your local businesses or not-for-profit organizations with strong environmental agendas who might also bring a book for every child in your school that participates?
School districts can also purchase books at a significant discount and gift each child with their own copy – ‘a gift from their school.’
Please free to contact Gelos Publications for a discussion about what we could do for you. We would be delighted to send you a copy of the book for all such enquiries.

With the trademark rhyming pattern of the series, the story is a good opportunity for children, families, and educators to discuss what part we all can play in taking care of our environment."
I was volunteering in my son’s classroom yesterday and I had the opportunity to read this story to them. They absolutely loved it. They sat around my chair, moving closer and closer with each page.”
