Care for Creation resources for children and adults

God's Creation Waits is a care-for-creation resource booklet for children between grades two and five and adults. Written by acclaimed children’s author Anne E. Neuberger, the 42-page booklet is designed to encourage children to develop an awareness for all of nature and to appreciate it as a gift from God. The activities, stories, and prayers will help them take joy every day in creation.

From that awareness, this resource then strives to encourage a child’s curiosity about the natural world and, subsequently, a concern for it. These aspirations are all interwoven with an attitude of joy and thankfulness for a loving God.

It can easily be adjusted for younger children or family use, as a supplement to a religious education curriculum in parishes and schools, and is a good resource for anyone wanting to observe the Season of Creation (September 1–October 4). Read more about how this resource was created on Catholic Climate Covenant's blog here.
