Stories could help teach children the importance of nature
Stories are a powerful way to share information with children. Recent research has shown that storytelling may promote connection with nature, empathy, and environmental values. The authors of this study believe that stories about sustainability have the ability to promote pro-environmental behavior in children, yet these themes are not widely available in children's literature. This study explored whether a folk story could be used to teach children about the environment, as well as how the story made the children feel.
