Below is a list of environmental type literature i have researched.
Dr Seuss (1971) The Lorax Trees overuse and ecology,
Random House. A good example of a bright colourful children's book. Dr Seuss is quite a well known author whose work appeals to people of all ages.
Kathryn Laky (1997) The most beautiful roof in the
world, Houghton Mifflin Rainforest canopy ecosystem. An alternative look for a children's book using photos for the main imagery.
Byrd Baylor (1993) Desert Voices, Simon and Schuster.
Animals and habitat. I came across this author by chance and really enjoy their use of white space and bright colours. Below are two more examples of the author /illustrator team.
Byrd Baylor (1986) The Desert is theirs, Atheneum
Books. Desert people and animals.
Byrd Baylor (1998) The table where rich people sit,
Aladdin picture books. Lesson about being rich in things that matter outdoors
and experiencing nature.
Nicola Davies (2014) The Promise, Walker books.
Changing a harsh world.
This is one of my favourite illustrators- Laura Carlin. The compositions are interesting and nice to look at. Laura's pencil and mixed media style gives a dream like feel to her images.

Jeannie Baker (2008) Belonging, Walker books.
Re-greening the city.
I found this complex layered mixed medium book inspiring. Baker's use of texture and imagery is awesome, i find myself examining all aspects if the pages, trying to see what else i can find! Love it. Just what a picture book should be.
