Thompson, Colin. The Tower to the Sun. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1996. 32p.
In this cautionary environmental tale, a wealthy man tells his grandson about a time when Earth's inhabitants could see the sun. Looking through layers of dark gloom, the young grandson asks his grandfather if they can start building a tower to the sun. The grandfather agrees to spend all of his fortune on this worthwhile dream, and over many, many years, the pair's dream is finally realized when the tower reaches layers of light and warmth.
This book will serve as a powerful read-aloud for generating discussions on why it is so important for each of us to care for the earth in our everyday lives.
