Arkansas group unveils storybook to educate kids on recycling
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KARK/KAIT) – The Keep Arkansas Beautiful Commission unveiled a new children’s storybook focused on teaching kids the importance of litter prevention and recycling.
Content partner KARK reported the group and Arkansas PBS hosted a live reading of the book ‘The Messy Garden Mystery’ at Pulaski Heights Elementary on Thursday, Jan. 25.
With the help of Otto the Otter and his new friend Marta, the book takes readers on an adventure and teaches kids what it takes to keep the Natural State shining bright.
“That’s the idea here, to let young Arkansans know that we have a special place to live,” said Shea Lewis, Secretary of the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage, and Tourism. “It’s beautiful, natural beauty and we want to keep it that way forever.”
The book is being offered for free.
