Earth Day 2025 Our Power, Our Planet
Earth Day was first celebrated in 1970. It is now an annual celebration of almost 200 countries on the 22nd April to demonstrate support for protection of our environment. For 2025 the theme is Our Power, Our Planet. This post will give you lots of book ideas for exploring Earth day through a range of themes.

Earth Day Book Recommendations
Over on Instagram I join in with the lovely Esther from the account @mrsbrownsbookbox where she runs a hashtag called #8BrilliantBooks. In readiness for Earth Day each year she holds one of the weeks as an Earth Day theme. The books above are ones I’ve chosen for this week – Earth Month 2024. Below you’ll find the books I chose for last year. The Odd Fish would be the perfect read for this year’s theme.
My choices for Earth Day books are ones that would be perfect on your Bookshelf all year round. You can find my full Earth Day list here.
Making Earth Day Meaningful for Young Children
For younger children it’s good to share books that children can easily relate to. Books about nurturing gardens and wildlife at home or in your community are a great place to start. The Chalk Garden, Omar the Bees and Me and The Perfect Pond and other books in the series would be a good starting place.
Areas of Interest
Children who live near a beach or who have an interest in the ocean may like to understand how we can help our oceans. Those with a wider understanding of the world might enjoy learning about more global issues, what they are and how their actions impact upon the world.
More Book Recommendations
Along with the book above here are some of our other favourite books, both story and non-fiction and spanning a range of ages. They are books to help your child develop an environmental understanding of the world through stories, facts, beautiful illustrations and images. Each book helping you to explore the topic at home with your child. They’re in no particular order.
Recent Review
A new Nicola Davies and Emily Sutton book has been released – Green: The Story of Plant Life on Our Planet. It’s glorious and a top recommendation of an Earth Day book. Find inside images and my review here.
