Ecological Community is the perfect guide to teach ecological fundamentals to children aged 6-11. The book enables children to realize their ability to solve a diverse range of problems they face, from the lack of a volleyball court in the neighbourhood to climate change.

Sophia, Jack, Lily, Nick, Mila, Leo, and Nora are all friends living in the same neighbourhood where they want to open a cafe, but they need money for that. What can they do? They share things they do not need in their homes with those who need them, visit shopkeepers and cooperate with them, meet with staff in the neighbourhood who help, for example, the firefighters or the police officers, and they do not forget to play games! The book not only teaches the basic elements of ecology such as solar energy, recycling, and composting, but it also invites children to brainstorm so they can internalize those elements. This opens the door to creating a habitable world by explaining the basic principles of ecology.
