Take a look at There's an Owl in the Shower by Jean Craighead George (or her many other wonderful books)
For non-fiction picture books which highlight human impact on environment try A River Ran Wild by Lynn Cherry or Who Speaks for Wolf by Paula Underwood. Do you know Linda Booth Sweeney's book When a Butterfly Sneezes? It's a guide for using picture books for teaching "system's thinking", helping kids understand interconnections and deal with complexity. She offers guides for both of the non-fiction books above. I recommend it highly for anyone working on environmental or social issues. Also, you may want to check out the website for The Cloud Institute for Sustainability Education.
