Customer Reviews

I love this book!
I am an avid reader of the Green Parent magazine so was really excited when I found out the editor had written this comprehensive little book on ethical parenting. I loved the introduction 'Green parenting is about raising your children with love and respect. It's about listening to them and nurturing them in the hope that they will grow up to be healthy individuals who are compassionate about others and our world.' And so say all of us! A great book, one I will recommend to all my friends, because it covers all the issues that are important to me as a parent and is easily readable. You can dip into it for good ideas all the time too.
