pipes of thousands of people? How about roads and highways, communications and energy,
water treatment and waste? The answers to these questions and more can be found

history, geography, demography, technology, infrastructure, and government of

particular focus on ecology, green energy, and environmental planning moves
readers forward to consider what sustainable development might look like in the
future as well. This nonfiction STEM title, ideal for civics and social studies
units, includes a table of contents, a glossary, and a list of resources for
further research. Written by children's author France Desmarais and municipal
administrator Richard Adam, with lively full-color illustrations from Yves
Dumont, I Love My City is a captivating resource for the library, classroom,
or home.
