This CBCA 2023 notable early childhood book of the year is a heart warming story about community, sustainability and how one neighbour's rubbish is another's treasure. A clever look at reducing waste and repurposing items to save them ending up as land fill.

The activities for this book are designed for students in their first years of school from Kindergarten to Year 2. They include matching repurposed items, following directions, turning a book into an artwork and a colour by number to reduce, reuse, recycle and repurpose.
