Earth Days!

Of all my Lae Lae books, my favorite is probably "A Birthday Party for Mother Earth".  The book was inspired by my granddaughter Zoe who, when she was five years old, said "Mimi, I think we should have a birthday party for Mother Earth to thank her for all she has given us...and she's watching us you know.  She cares about what we are doing with her world".  Profound words for a little girl of five but so true.  So she and I and her big brother Gage proceeded to make earth cakes and decorate them with leaves and twigs and acorns as we celebrated Mother Earth's birthday.  In "A Birthday Party for Mother Earth"  Lae Lae and her friends from around the world do the same thing as each child brings something from his or her own culture to celebrate and share for  Mother Earth's birthday.

Earth Day is coming up at the end of this month but I think that we should celebrate Earth Day, not just one day in April each year, but every day of each year instead.  We need to look around at all of the abundance that we have in the world that we were given...animal and plant life and natural resources and celebrate how the earth is all one big cycle and it's all interrelated.  Trees give off oxygen; we need oxygen to live,they absorb the CO2 that we breathe out; the bees, birds, bats and butterflies help to propagate the plants that bear the food that we eat. Healthy oceans provide their bounty and clean water and air support all of life.  We must be aware of the interdependence of all things and protect it all. 

We need to think in terms of the balance of life and the beautiful cycle of life and honor Mother Earth's world, not destroy it. Zoe asked me long ago if I thought that we were protecting Mother Earth's world the way we should and my opinion is that we could do better.  We need to try.  Happy Earth Day every day!
