The city sings green : & other poems about welcoming wildlife Cover Image Book

The city sings green : & other poems about welcoming wildlife / by Erica Silverman ; illustrations by Ginnie Hsu.

City sings green : (other title)
Silverman, Erica, (author.). Hsu, Ginnie, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"In Oslo Norway: residents create a honeybee highway that stretches from one side of the city to the other, offering flowerpots, resting spots, bee boxes, and beehives--and even water fountains--every eight hundred feet. In the Bronx, New York: a community rallies to clean their river and cheers at the return of the long-lost beaver population. In Brusselton, Australia: people make a rope bridge that swings high above speeding cars, creating a safe path for tree-hopping possums and squirrels alike. Through a mix of lyrical poems, real-life success stories, and bouquet-bright artwork, The City Sings Green explores the environmental impact of humans and showcases the many ways that we can rewild cities across the globe. Together, we can welcome nature back!"-- Front flap.
