Review Karen Kilpatrick has written a charming, thoughtful and endearing children's book brilliantly illustrated by An-Lon Chen. Carmin is off to the park with her dog Peanut to play. She is excited and happy to be enjoying the day until she comes off the slide and steps in a pile of trash and gets gum on her shoe. This makes her very unhappy and she wants to do something to take care of the situation. She goes home with a plan and happily returns to the park with what she believes will be a solution to the problem. This is a great lesson to help teach children to do their part to help take care of our beautiful earth. It doesn't matter how big or small their contribution is as long as everyone participates. The illustrations are brilliantly colorful and convey this story in an appealing way. I recommend this book to share with your children or grandchildren, they will love the story and learn from its message. --Confessions of a Reader - Marilou George About the Author Karen, mom, attorney, and award-winning author, has been writing and creating for as long as she can remember.
