Celebrate Earth Day in the library with 27 Earth Day books! Includes Earth Day picture books, middle grade titles, and YA books. Special focus is on endangered species.
Earth Day is celebrated internationally every year on April 22. The first Earth Day was April 22, 1970. Today, over 190 countries celebrate Earth Day every year.
This Earth Day Digital Booktalk features 27 hand-selected books for Earth Day. Every title received at least two positive professional reviews, and many of them received starred professional reviews.

SLIDESHOW: EARTH DAY BOOKS FOR KIDS AND TEENS
The Earth Day Digital Booktalk slideshow is editable in Google Slides. Please feel free to make a copy and edit it for your library as you wish. I’ve included lots of popular books for Earth Day that are found in many libraries, but you can easily add your library’s Earth Day books, too.
Play the slides on a timed loop in the library or hallway to encourage student interest in endangered species.

I included some fantastic books below, many of which have starred professional reviews. Some have also won book awards, so it can also make a great collection development tool. I also plan to update these slides from time to time to add new titles!

RELATED EARTH DAY LESSONS
If you need classroom or library lessons to go with these Earth Day book selections, check out my ready-made lessons below! The booktalk slides are the same size and design as the presentations below, so you only need to copy and paste the booktalks into the Library Lesson or Digital Bulletin Board.
*Sixth graders fit into either the Library Lesson or the Digital Bulletin Board. If your sixth graders are on an elementary campus, I recommend the K-5 Library Lesson if you want to teach Earth Day and the Digital Bulletin Board if you prefer a passive slideshow of information and fun facts. The Earth Day Digital Booktalk integrates easily into either presentation.
