The Big Neighborhood Clean-Up
A Heartwarming Story About Environmental Responsibility, Community Action, and Teamwork for Children Ages 4-8

The second adventure in the beloved "What Shall We Do Today?" series that parents trust and teachers recommend
When seven-year-old Imani and eight-year-old Tommy notice their neighborhood is scattered with litter, they don't just complain—they take action! With colorful posters and boundless enthusiasm, these resourceful children organize their entire community for a neighborhood clean-up day that transforms not just their physical environment, but the neighborhood's spirit.

This engaging short story teaches children valuable lessons about:
  • Environmental stewardship and responsibility

  • Problem-solving and creative thinking
  • The power of teamwork and collaboration
  • Turning challenges into opportunities
As Imani, Tommy, and their new friend Maya gather neighbors of all ages to collect trash and restore beauty to their streets, they discover something incredible—an abandoned community garden waiting to be reborn. Their simple clean-up project plants seeds for ongoing community connection, revealing how small actions can grow into meaningful change.
