It’s My Earth Too was originally published in 1992 by Doubleday Books for Young Readers. You might be surprised to learn that the book publishing industry is actually a huge polluter, but this book was made in an environmentally friendly manner, printed on recycled paper with soybean oil inks. There was no paper dust jacket, and water-soluble glues were used in the binding. The great news is that it is just been reissued as an ebook! (Affiliate links below.)
Kids who are interested in the illustration process can read about the evolution of this picture on Melanie’s blog and read a new interview with Melanie discussing how she creates an illustration.
