Rebecca Atanassova is the author, and Alissa Hansen is the illustrator of the recent children's picture book "George the Mouse in a Log Pile House," a most beautiful story for parents and guardians to highlight to their children the importance of nature ahead of Earth Day, April 22. In a recent study, 62% of parents reported feeling guilty about the amount of time their kids spend on screens. With that number continuing to rise, it feels more important than ever to raise children who care about the earth - children who feel connected to the world around them, and who grow up with a sense of awareness, tenderness, and responsibility toward it. Rebecca and Alissa's book is based on a true tale of the English wildlife photographer Simon Dell and his wild mouse friend, George. It's perfect for reading together and having caring conversations. Rebecca and Alissa share their own commitment with their families to living with kindness and community in the world.
