5000 trees planted for teacher turned author’s first storybook!




Eco-Libris is proudly partnering for some time with Aaspirations Publishing,
a green publisher based in Toronto and publishes books on issues that are often ignored. Today we're happy to announce on 5,000 trees that will be planted for their book Where the Buttercups Grow’!

Not only that one tree is planted for every copy printed, but
customers that buy ‘Where the Buttercups Grow’ can electronically adopt one of the 5000 trees planted for ‘Where the Buttercups Grow’ in the name of the one they love. As well as display a message to the person in whose name they adopted the tree. Isn't that awesome or what?

Here's a little bit more about this book
which was beautifully written by Shelley Meyer and vividly illustrated by her daughter Tessa Meyer:

What happens when a mother-daughter team combine the beauty of buttercups, the power of storytelling and a great respect of nature to create a wonderful book with amazing art?

In a beautiful field, the buttercups grow, but when two children have no respect for nature, garbage begins to pile up high. Are the days of the buttercups over, or will help come to rescue the buttercups from a fate more deadly than illness? See the difference that children can make when they set their mind to it and decide to take care of Mother Earth.

Beautifully written by Shelley Meyer and vividly illustrated by her daughter Tessa Meyer, this inspiring and powerful story will find a spot on every child's list of favourites, especially when they can carry the story forward in their own lives and plant their very own buttercups. This wonderful title is doubly special because for every book 1 tree has been planted.

Customers that buy ‘Where the Buttercups Grow’ can electronically adopt one of the 5000 trees planted for ‘Where the Buttercups Grow’ in the name of the one they love. As well as display a message to the person in whose name they adopted the tree.

The author Shelly Meyer is a wife and mother of two children. She graduated with a Bachelor of Education Degree from UBC and an Early Childhood Education Certificate. She enjoyed teaching for 5 years and is now the owner and operator of Li’l Munchkin Preschool. Her preschool program encourages care and respect for each other and for the environment. Shelley's mother works with her, and together they hope to teach young children values they can live up to all their lives.
