There's a Barnyard in My Bedroom
There's a Barnyard in My Bedroom
by David Suzuki, Illustrated by Eugenie Fernandes
Recommended by Curriculum Services Canada, this fun and engaging story, based on three previous children's books by David Suzuki and Eugenie Fernandes, introduces young children to environmental issues without overwhelming them.
In this beautifully illustrated story, a brother and sister go on nature adventures and discover that natural magic is all around them, even in their own home. They find an ocean in their bathroom, dinosaur breath inside their own bodies, and the past and the future in their own backyard.
Published in partnership with the David Suzuki Foundation. Also available in hardcover.
