Grown-ups, we’re on a mission to teach young minds how to take care of our incredible world and show them how they can make a BIG difference!
From saving animals to tackling climate change, My Precious Planet is our collection of exciting and engaging activity books designed for little ones aged 3-5. Each book is packed with interactive activities, stickers, and crafts to get children thinking about the world around them and how they can help protect it.
What’s My Precious Planet all about?
We wanted to create something special – books that aren’t just fun, but also help children understand the big environmental challenges we’re facing today. Whether it’s protecting endangered animals or caring for our oceans, My Precious Planet shows little ones that they can make a real difference, starting right at home or in their own back gardens.
Our future is in the hands of the next generation, so let’s get them involved early and inspire them to take action!
What makes My Precious Planet different?
- Engaging activities – With fun activities, stickers, and crafts, learning about the planet has never been this exciting!
- Inspiring curious minds – We’re all about asking big questions and exploring new ideas in a playful and creative way.
- Challenging the way we think – While we’re honest about the world’s problems, we focus on all the positive ways children (and their grown-ups!) can make a difference.
Here’s a peek at some of the titles:
