On April 18th, in celebration of Earth Day, Michael Franti released his second children’s book “Where In The World Is Away?”- a story about the importance of recycling, reducing waste, and re-using what we can. With illustrations by Ben Hodson who collaborated with Franti on his debut children’s book, “What I Be”.

The self-published book will be available in hardcover. It comes with a humorous read along CD featuring Franti, his son Ade, friend Addison Savage, singer Jolene Rust, and Spearhead band mate J Bowman. The books are printed and manufactured in the USA using environmentally-friendly soy ink on elemental chlorine-free, sustainably harvested, recycled stock!

“I read to both of my sons every night of their childhood,” said Franti. “Reading is a precious time when we get to be close to our children and pass down stories, both real and make believe, that shape the way they view the world. I hope that this book inspires families and children to make recycling as much a part of their lives as brushing their teeth before bedtime…only more fun!” says Franti.

After visiting a garbage dump in Bali while filming the video for his song “Hey World” and seeing hills of garbage as far as the coastline, Franti was inspired to pen “Where In The World Is Away?”. The book’s message is a simple one; just because we throw away our trash and it’s taken off somewhere else doesn’t mean it really goes away. It’s up to us to recycle, reduce waste, and re-use what we can.
