With vivid, colorful illustrations and humor scattered throughout, Charlie to the Rescue! illustrates that all animals are important, no matter what kind. Charlie to the Rescue! is a 32-page picture book designed for ages 3-8.
Praise for Charlie to the Rescue!
In today’s increasingly human-dominated world, nonhuman animals need all the help they can get. Kids are the answer for expanding compassion and empathy for other animals. If we teach them to respect and to love each and every individual nonhuman for who they are, not for what they can do for us, all other animal beings will be very grateful. The lessons offered in Charlie to the Rescue are precisely what youngsters and other animals need to ensure that the future will be better for all animals, nonhumans and humans alike. How could anyone argue against increasing our compassion footprint to include everyone? This remarkable book should be part of school curricula globally.— Marc Bekoff, Ph.D., author of many books including Jasper’s Story: Saving Moon Bears (a book for youngsters written with Jill Robinson) and The Animals’ Agenda: Freedom, Compassion, and Coexistence in the Human Age (with Jessica Pierce).
Kara Maria’s Charlie to the Rescue! is the perfect children’s’ book! Lovable characters, a fun adventure, with a heartwarming message inspiring kindness for all. Seeds of compassion will surely spread and grow with this adorable book!” –Jackie Day, Author of The Vegan Way, 21 Days to a Happier, Healthier, Plant-Based Diet That Will Transform Your Home, Your Diet and You.
