Green Jolene and the Footprint Fixers

The third in an illustrated chapter book series about budding conservationist Green Jolene, who saves the planet by starting in her own neighborhood, by New York Times best-selling author Wendy Mass.

It all began—as the best stories do—in the local library!  

Ever since Green Jolene discovered a book about energy conservation, she has been obsessed with reducing her carbon footprint. Taking shorter showers? Check! Unplugging appliances? Check! But when she learns of a local cement factory that’s definitely not as eco-conscious, Jolene can’t help but use her voice and speak up. 

Jolene and her friends Eugene, Brittany, and Nina show the power of collective action: demanding a meeting with the head of the factory to convince him to agree to green initiatives to reduce the business’s—and ultimately the town’s—carbon footprint. For fans of Ivy & Bean and Clementine, our can-do hero, Green Jolene, returns with more discoveries of how to take an Earth-first approach to every problem she encounters, proving that small changes can go a very long way.
