★Environment and sustainability have long become part of the curriculum content in many schools including kindergartens. We are living on a plastic planet; water, land and air are extremely polluted. We need to conserve and restore the nature, we need to protect it. Our children need to get outside and engage with nature. They need to experience it directly so that they can also experience themselves.
★Books in this series are aimed at freeing children from the grip of industrial life and making them truly experience nature, air, soil and water！

The Ecological Community enables your children to become aware of their capability and their power to produce solutions to the problems they face ranging from the lack of a volleyball field in the neighbourhood to climate change.
Neighbourhood friends Sophia, Jack, Lily, Nick, Mila, Leo and Nora work together to build an ecological café by paying attention to every living thing in their community. They sometimes seek help from their neighbours, sometimes from the fire fighters or the police station or chat with the elderly people around and by this way they learn, grow, share and collect the money required to reach their goal of opening a café by helping each other and working together. The book refers to ecological fundamentals such as natural food, recycling, composting, and saving, and it also enables the children to produce their own solutions and ideas by making them a part of the process.

About the Writer-Ralph Weder
Ralph Weder was born in Berlin. He completed his primary education in a forest school where he was introduced to the basic principles of ecology such as compost, mulch, and permaculture. Following university, he worked as a teacher in several different schools. His main issue during his time as a teacher was the lack of quality books available to introduce to his students. Finally, he took a pen to his hand and a piece of paper and started to write children’s books himself. Interactive learning, events in nature, and inviting everybody into ecological activities, constituted the orbit of life
