Margaret McNamara, the pseudonym of literary agent Brenda Bowen, is the Christopher Award–winning author of the long-running Robin Hill School series, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2024. She is also the author of the Mr. Tiffin’s Classroom series (all illustrated by G. Brian Karas), including How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin?, which was awarded the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Best Book Gold Award, and The Dinosaur Expert, which received three starred reviews. Among her many other picture books is Vote for Our Future, illustrated by Micah Player, which Kirkus Reviews called “essential” in a starred review. Margaret McNamara lives in New York City and spends as much of the summer as she can in Maine.
Mike Gordon illustrates the Robin Hill School series and has an extensive and varied background in illustration and design. He lives with his family in Santa Barbara, California.
As Earth Day approaches, the first-graders in Mrs. Connor’s class think up big ideas for solving Earth’s enormous environmental problems. Emma feels overwhelmed until her father reassures her that it’s fine to start small. All week they help the planet in practical ways, such as buying food at the farmer’s market, sorting cans and bottles for recycling, and brushing teeth without leaving the water running. From the Robin Hill School Ready-to-Read series, the book has no more than one sentence on each page, making it very accessible to preschoolers as well as beginning readers. Washed with colors, the scruffy, cartoon-style ink drawings are appealing, though the father’s skin tone shifts from pink on the cover to cocoa-brown on the interior pages. The idea of starting small and acting locally makes an excellent theme for young children discouraged by the scope of global challenges. A useful addition to Earth Day units.
