Bag in the Wind

By Ted Kooser, Illustrated by Barry Root

We all have them tucked away in junk drawers, under beds, in closets and all over our homes. Plastic Bags. They are one of the most wasteful commodities in our world, as they are not biodegradable and end up filling landfills to capacity, killing wildlife, and polluting our communities.

This charming story follows the life of one average plastic bag as it is blown all over an average town. Children will be amazed at the number of places any one plastic bag can reach as it is swept up in the wind. The author teaches your young person about responsible use of plastics and how harmful such simple devices can be if over-produced and wasted. There is a wonderful afterword discussion to assist your child in understanding the scope of our plastic bag problem in North America. A must read for people who love our world.
