The 2011 Wilderness Society Environment Award for Children’s Literature has been awarded to The Tomorrow Book by Jackie French and Sue deGennaro (HarperCollins).
This award was established in 1993 and for a book to be eligible it has to encourage caring for the natural environment.
The Society said in a statement that The Tomorrow Book ‘is a story of ideas and hope, demonstrating possible solutions to water conservation, consumer waste, pollution and wildlife protection.’
‘While the tone of the book is imaginative and light-hearted, it promotes a thoughtful and creative approach to environmental problems.’
