I am super-excited and honored to announce that Earth Day and the Environmental Movement has been long-listed for the Green Earth Book Awards. It’s a little heady to have a book included in a list that includes many nonfiction writers I respect and admire. Check out the full list here.

Christy Peterson writes nonfiction for children and young adults. She has written more than 40 books and articles for young readers, as well as “Nanoland,” a museum exhibit for Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, and resources for parents and teachers.

Her book, Into the Deep: Science, Technology, and the Quest to Protect the Ocean (TFCB 2020), was a 2021 Washington State Book Award finalist. Earth Day and the Environmental Movement (TFCB 2020) was long listed for the Green Earth Book Awards, was included in the 2021 Best Children’s Books of the Year from Bank Street College of Education, and was nominated for a Cybil award. Her most recent release is the Sesame Street Field Trips series from Lerner Publishing. (Winter 2021).
