Sheila Says We're Weird (But We're Just Green)

* 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.

About the Author

Ruth Ann Smalley is a holistic educator who writes about green living,
fair trade, and health for children and adults. A former literature professor, she currently homeschools with her two children in Albany,
New York. They live in a kid-friendly neighborhood, where children run in and out of each other s houses and even the dogs have playgroups.
Neighbors gather for porch parties, ice cream socials, plant swaps, book club meetings, musical jam sessions, and winter board game nights. One family even hosts an annual August Kid Wash, where children in swimsuits soap up and enjoy being sprayed by adults with garden hoses!

Jennifer
Emery has been illustrating for children for over a decade. Her work includes numerous children's books, including Christmas Gifts, Animal
Alphabed, and Moving Day. She also illustrates regularly for the children's magazine Highlights for Children. Jen grew up in Minneapolis,
Minnesota, where she still lives in a tiny apartment with her border collie, Butler. The two explore her urban neighborhood four to five times daily, witnessing many of the earth-friendly living ideas practiced by Sheila's neighbors in this book.
