By Melissa Moore-Randall

Children’s author Noah Sorin, the founder of the Idori project, recently visited the first-grade classes at the A.C. Whelan School. Sorin spoke to the children about the value of trees, nature and the importance of taking care of the Earth. The first-grade students shared ways they could reduce, reuse, and recycle to help save our planet. He read his book called “Benjy the Treehopper.” He brought in some special plushies that represented characters from his book.

According to the Idori project website, “Noah is an early childhood educator, a children’s book author, a social entrepreneur, an activist, and an avid environmentalist. After growing up on a farm in Montgomery, VT, and then moving to Boston, Noah became determined to spread his love for nature and sustainability to children all around the world using the magic of storytelling.”

“Idori (I Dream of Real Impact) is a movement dedicated to empowering children aged 3-8 years old to become environmental stewards. We offer educational content, resources, curriculum, and programming including whimsical storybooks, eco-friendly plush toys, learning roadmaps, afterschool programs, online games and more!”
