In friendly direct-address text ("Dear little humans living on me: It's your E.F.F.!* *Earth Friend Forever"), Earth explains the ways plastics are damaging the planet and suggests how children can make a difference by choosing better alternatives and recycling. "Every time I see you refill a water bottle instead of buying a plastic one, it makes me spin with joy." This is an informative and accessible book, written by the hosts of the kids' science podcast Brains On! and illustrated with approachable digital art. Back matter includes details about how plastics are made and emerging solutions to the plastic problem.
