Where Did My Clothes Come From? (Exploring the Everyday)

Description

Did you know that the cotton for your jeans was picked from a bush? Where did your soccer uniform, your rain boots, and your fleece jacket come from? And what does recycling plastic bottles have to do with anything?

Visit farms, forests, and factories all over the world to find out how everything you wear has a story behind it. Back matter includes an author's note, an illustrator's note, a bibliography, and an index.
