In this article, I offer a reading of Tomorrow’s Children, the Grammy Award-winning collaboration between Pete Seeger and the Rivertown Kids and Friends Choir, to articulate an ecopedagogy capable of providing elementary students with the values, dispositions, and skills needed to grow of age, together, in a climate-changed world. My central argument is that ecopedagogy’s impacts extend beyond cultivating an understanding of the non-human world to claim that ecopedagogy must include the practice of skills conducive to democracy. I conclude by considering barriers to and opportunities for enacting such an ecopedagogy in the early year’s classroom
