Bag in the Wind

Reach for this book when your child starts asking where their trash goes after it leaves the bin, or when you want to nurture a sense of interconnectedness with the world. This poetic story follows the unexpected journey of a simple plastic bag as it travels through different hands and landscapes. It transforms a mundane object into a tool for teaching environmental stewardship and empathy. Written by a former U.S. Poet Laureate, the book uses lyrical prose to explore how our choices ripple out into the community and nature. It is ideal for children ages 5 to 9 who are beginning to understand their role as global citizens. It offers a gentle but profound way to discuss sustainability without being preachy, focusing instead on the quiet beauty and hidden history of the things we discard.
