What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Children’s Choice Award winner Bethany Barton explores the history and future of garbage with tons of humor, fascinating information, and entertaining illustrations. Do you ever wonder where we put all of our garbage, who gets rid of it, or how our planet isn’t a big pile of mess? I’m Trying to Love Garbage has all the answers! From scavengers to detritivore to decomposers, nature’s garbage collectors are everywhere. But humans play an important role too, and our favorite narrator is back to tell us all about it. With Bethany Barton’s trademark balance of informative and hilarious, readers will finish this picture book with a better awareness of the garbage they create and where it all ends up.
