“What does earth need from you, if you want to be a good friend back to it?” Ellen Sabin on Green Connections Radio
How do you “grow kids with character”? That’s the goal of Ellen Sabin, President of Watering Can Press and author of experiential children’s books that teach different values, including “The Greening Book” about taking good care of the environment. How can a book be experiential? How can you teach kids values without being preachy?
Listen to this engaging interview with Green Connections Radio host Joan Michelson to find out and also learn about her unique book publishing business model that guarantees sales before she starts writing. She does extensive research before she starts writing and provides tools for teachers too.
You’ll hear about:
- How “co-authoring” the book can teach good life-long habits and values.
- How to make kids think about certain things and the impact of their choices before they make them.
- Specific ways kids can befriend the planet that are included in her book.
- How a book can start a conversation with – and teach! – their parent, teacher or friend.
- The tools she develops to help teachers teach kids about these issues.
- Her surprising career journey and what it can teach the rest of us.
And so much more!
“We choose how we spend our time and our energy and we can all make a big difference by following that pitter-patter in our hearts….Ignore the naysayers.” Ellen Sabin on Green Connections Radio
