CHICAGO, IL, Feb.25, 2008/AuthorsPressReleases.com/--
Learning how
to make a positive impact on the
environment isn't just for adults. But
teaching children how to help the
environment just became a lot easier -
and more fun - with the release of a new
children's book, "It's Easy Being
Green". In the book, author Andra
Rozentals uses colorful illustrations to
demonstrate the simple steps that
children can take to make a positive
impact on their environment.
The book addresses
the questions: Why plant trees? What is
carbon dioxide? Why should we recycle?
These questions posed by a group of
backyard vegetables to the main
characters, Larisa and Alex, set the
brother and sister duo on a quest to
discover what it means to be green.
Vegetable characters
- Bushie Broccoli, Mushie Mushroom, Pepi
Pepper and Crunchie Carrot - guide
Larisa and Alex to explore how
recycling, conserving electricity and
carpooling can help protect the
environment. To the delight of the
backyard vegetable gang, Larisa and Alex
learn to take action in order to reduce
the effects of global warming. In
becoming more mindful of how their
actions affect the earth, Alex and
Larisa learn that "It's Easy Being
Green."
"I was inspired to
write "It's Easy Being Green" due to the
affect global warming is having on our
planet," Rozentals said. "I created the
vegetable characters Bushie Broccoli,
Mushie Mushroom, Pepi Pepper and
Crunchie Carrot a few years ago, but
they sat on the page waiting for a story
to tell. After viewing the documentary,
"An Inconvenient Truth," the vegetable
gang awoke from their slumber to show
children the easy things they can do to
make the world a little greener."
Rozentals lives in
Chicago with her husband, Erik, and
their son, Nikolas Brett. Nikolas is
Andra's first child, and he was born in
the beginning of October just as Andra
was completing "It's Easy Being Green."
The book is available for purchase
online from
