An introduction to living in harmony with nature

This hands-on book invites children to discover how we can care for our planet by working alongside nature. Through the concept of permaculture—creating environments that mirror how plants and animals naturally interact—children learn practical ways to make a difference, from composting kitchen scraps to growing their own vegetables.

Turn a page to reveal a pop-up forest garden, lift flaps to see composting in action, and rotate a wheel to watch a tree transform through the seasons. The beautifully detailed illustrations show everything from insect hotels to rainwater collection, making environmental care feel achievable rather than overwhelming. With expert-reviewed content presented through flaps, pull-tabs, and pop-ups, it's part of the acclaimed Ultimate Spotlight series from Twirl Books.

Suitable for children aged 5 years and up

Why we like it

What I appreciate about this book is how it makes environmental care feel achievable. Instead of focusing on problems, it shows children concrete actions—starting a worm bin, planting a window box, or understanding why collecting rainwater matters. The interactive elements genuinely help children understand concepts like seasonal change and ecosystem layers.
