Stories from around the world become inspiration for experiential activities that promote environmental knowledge, Earth stewardship and interconnection. Songs and a circle dance accompany the stories. Michael’s books—Earth Tales from Around the World (recipient of the Aesop Prize), the Keepers of the Earth® series (with Joseph Bruchac) and The Garden of Wisdom: Earth Tales from the Middle East—bring alive the magic of stories and mysteries of science. Michael’s original approach, called Ecological Education, is inspired by natural law and it reflects the diversity of human intelligence, cultural diversity and biological diversity. His books have proven exceptional for tying together many aspects of the curriculum through stories, information and activities. Includes an in-depth section and resources on how to share indigenous stories and information from around the world with cultural sensitivity.

For educators of children from grades K-6.
