“This is an important book, in content and in tone. Too often, sustainability is seen as energy-efficiency, as a technical task with a slightly punitive tone. Shannon Brescher Shea takes an entirely different approach. She shows how family members can grow closer to each other by becoming closer to the Earth. I can imagine thousands of parents, grandparents, and kids following her wise words.” (Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods and Our Wild Calling)

“Growing Sustainable Together offers modern parents a plethora of realistic ideas for engaging their children in activities and family habits that will sustain the environment. From gardening, recycling and picking up litter to eschewing a car and overload of material possessions, author Shannon Brescher Shea shows how our everyday choices can help protect our planet. This readable, persuasive and accessible book will inspire both parents new to environmental action and long-time activists struggling to continue sustainable practices post-baby. If you want to raise justice-seeking, responsible, green-minded children, Growing Sustainable Together is the guide for you. An exciting, research-grounded book for environmentally oriented parents!” (Katherine Reynolds Lewis, author of The Good News About Bad Behavior)
