Please Don’t Paint Our Planet Pink! by Gregg Kleiner
What may occur if we could actually see the atmospheric carbon dioxide? Imagine CO2 had a colour like pink. A young boy named Wilbur by his parents “in honour of that pig in Charlotte’s Web” learns the power of the human imagination and how he can use that power to see a shade of pink so amazing it just might save the planet in this captivating, humorous, and incredibly timely book for kids (and their adults!). Young Can learns all about carbon and caring, carpooling and climate change, and how learning to see “this specific pink” will help all of us keep our Planet cool with the aid of his nerdy “dorkasaurus” Dad and a pair of brilliant green goggles.

This book should be read and discussed with children at home and at school by their parents, as well as by their instructors. It’s difficult to convey science to kids in a clear, factual manner that will keep their attention. It can be difficult to talk about environmental issues without seeming preachy. Here, Gregg has pushed all the appropriate buttons. Well done. Excellent work was put into the narrative and the pictures.
The idea is that everyone would be able to see how much CO2 is flooding the environment if all of it were painted pink in the atmosphere. Now, no children’s book will alone change the course of the battle against the effects of global warming. On the other side, what if this tiny book was turned into an animated film and shown on TV and throughout the world? The history of children’s literature is a mystery. Take a look at how well-known the Dr Seuss picture books become following the author’s passing.
Gregg Kleiner recently published a new children’s book called “Please Don’t Paint Our Planet Pink! A Story for Children and Their Adults” that address global warming. The concept is basic. What if CO2 could be seen? It is imagined to be pink in the book. The imagined character is a peculiar parent; one imagines him to be some type of inventor who came up with the concept of creating goggles that would allow one to see CO2 as a pink gas. The patient but obviously suffering son of the man describes everything before donning the prototype goggles and experiencing it for himself.
This book about climate change is excellent for young readers. A wide range of ages can use it, particularly young children and students in elementary school. This is not an explanation of global warming; rather, it is a fantastic narrative that conveys the significance of climate change without completely terrifying the listener. The artwork was beautifully done by Laurel Thomson.
