The Sad Little Planet

The Sad Little Planet introduces climate change and stewardship of the Earth to young children. An unexplored and perfect planet is compared to the Earth through the adventures of a small boy. The child comes to realize the damage we are doing to the Earth and chooses to live on the new planet instead. While other children's stories teach ways to help the planet, The Sad Little Planet teaches what happens when we don't.
