Dear Greenpeace

Dear Greenpeace is a charming early introduction to environmental stewardship through the inquisitive and caring voice of a child. Concerned that a whale living in her backyard pond might feel lonely, Emily writes an earnest letter to Greenpeace for advice. Though informed it's impossible, Emily's determination to help grows stronger, and when she recognises what's right for her whale, she makes a heartfelt decision to set it free. This gently humorous and instructive tale introduces concepts of animal welfare, ecosystems, personal responsibility, and problem-solving. With simple yet emotionally vivid text and expressive, warm illustrations, this story delivers a valuable lesson in caring for wildlife-even in the world we can control-and serves as a wonderful conversation starter about ethics and environmental care.
