This moving parable for all ages offers a touching interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return.

Book Description
Celebrate Earth Day with Dr. Seuss and the Lorax in this classic picture book about protecting the environment! I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees.

The book’s final pages teach us that just one small seed, or one small child, can make a difference.

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.
