For painless and preach-free environmental education, told especially wellwith spunky, colorful illustrations, read SheilaSays We're Weird to children age six and up., Children's Book List --United Methodist Women's Reading Program ". . . a great way to introduce kids to energy conservation! Ruth Ann Smalley, is a holistic educator who writes about green living. She won a Moonbeam Bronze Award for Picture Books for her book. Living green can be a tough subject for kids who are used to modern conveniences. But, it is important. And Smalley has tackled the subject in a fun way." -- Children's Books Heal Moonbeam Bronze Award for Picture Books, 4-8 Years "That's Sheila. She's rolling her eyes at the way her neighbors live. Sheila's neighbors don't use a clothes dryer. They hang laundry on the line instead. They don't drive to the library. They ride their bikes instead. Sheila's neighbors don't even throw away their used tea bags. They save them for the garden worms instead. 'Weird,' says Sheila. But there's something appealing about Sheila's neighbors' lifestyle, and even Sheila can't miss how happy, healthy, and contented they are. By the end of the book, Sheila has been won over, and of course, we--reading the book--have been won over long before that." -- Storypockets "Before I opened Ruth Ann Smalley's Sheila Says We're Weird , I wondered, 'Weird in a good way, or weird in a bad way?' . . . Maybe what Sheila is trying to say is that her friend's family has some old-fashioned values and habits. They hang their clothes outside to dry, for example, and they go to the farmer's market for the fresh produce they use to make their soup. They burn wood in a stove during the winter for warmth, and they use ceiling fans in the summer to cool things down. . . . I think you'll enjoy getting back to the basics with the inquisitive little redhead who gives the word weird a whole new meaning." -- Character Counts "Living green may be tough for children whose peers aren't schooled in eco-responsibility. The protagonists of this colorful book hang their clothes out to dry, eschew air conditioning, compost with worms, and buy food from the local farmers' market. Their neighbor, Sheila, isn't impressed. "That's weird," she says. The young skeptic is won over in the end, however, making for a book that helps children understand that as the Sheilas of the world learn more about green living, acceptance will grow." --Sierra Club Green Life "If Sheila can change her thinking, we can too. The 'new normal' is fast approaching." --Mike Mercer, executive director, NW Earth Institute "The only thing weird about this family is how much fun they have--what a lovely reminder of how easy some change is!" --Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature and Eaarth, The onlything weird about this family is how much fun they have. What a lovely reminderof how easy some change is!, A book that helps children understand that as the Sheilas of the world learnmore about green living, acceptance will grow.

Synopsis
* Skipping Stones Honor Award * * Honor Book, Science, Society of School Librarians International * * Moonbeam Bronze Award * Sheila can't figure out why her neighbors hang their laundry outside instead of using a dryer. And why do they ride their bikes to the library instead of just using the car?, Why do they mow their lawn with a push mower when a gas mower is much faster? But their homemade soup sure tastes good, and she likes picking cherry tomatoes and strawberries in their garden, and it's pretty cozy to sit around the woodstove in the winter. Are Sheila's neighbors really weird, or do they have some good ideas going on? Ruth Ann Smalley writes about green living, fair trade, and health for children and adults. Jennifer Emery has illustrated numerous children's books.
