Our Children's Book: Tiny Tommy Learns About Palm Oil!

By: Gianna Downes

Watch us read our book below!

 We made a children's book for K through 3rd graders. To come up with the title of, "Tiny Tommy Learns About Palm Oil!" it took work. First we were confused on what name to pick for the book because we wanted a name that would be good for little kids and a little bit of older kids. We kept thinking and we thought well, since Tommy learns all about palm oil and what it does to their habitats,  "Tiny Tommy Learns About Palm Oil" was a pretty good title. 

The whole children's book is mainly about Tommy the Tiny Tiger waking up, but not finding his parents. He asked his grandmom where they were and she told him they went to find them a new home before tree cutters cut theirs down. Tommy asked why they needed their trees,  and she explained that the tree cutters make palm oil from  palm trees they grow in place of their forest trees. Palm oil is in lots of things like, ice cream, cereal, cookies, and many other things. Humans can help by trying to use deforeststation-free oil.   The message behind the story is that without our help, the tigers will go completely extinct!
