Casey's Compost (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Series of Books for Children)

A charming story, a composting chart , and examples of what can be composted , are featured in this humorous, but inspiring book! Follow a young boy named Casey as he learns about composting and what it can do to provide nutrition to plants and reduce waste. After assessing the sad condition of the plants at his school, Casey decides to take matters into his own hands by collecting food waste from fellow students. At first, they think he's crazy, but supportive adults in Casey's life recognize his passion and help him to make composting a school-wide policy that inspires the town to follow suit. After the story, this book contains compost instructions, illustrations of compostable items, a composting chart and a list of suggestions to help reduce waste. "Very cute and appealing. Young children will show interest in what Casey is doing and why he is doing it. Talking people into making this a city wide project is amazing and well done. A wonderful education tool! " - Kindle Customer, Nov. 28, 2017. Printed on recycled paper. My goal, in writing and illustrating this book, was to introduce children to composting with an inspiring story and to provide a useful, easy-to-understand pictoral chart about how composting works. At the back of the book, the illustrated examples of what can be composted  help children get started. Some children don't have a space to compost at home, so, I hope to inspire schools to create composting programs. If more of us learn to compost, perhaps we can keep food waste out of landfills and put it to good use in our gardens.  Not only that, but, children who compost can feel proud of the end result: Rich soil and happy plants!
