This paper investigates language and ecology in some Arabic children’s stories by Dr. Elmessiri and English children’s stories by Dr. Seuss. It shows how Dr. Elmessiri and Dr. Seuss utilise items and animal characters in their stories for kids from the local environment. The use of a language that respects the ecosystem of the surrounding environment helps protecting this environment from destruction. This is the environmentally constructive discourse that Arran Stibbe (2021) mentions in his book Ecolinguistics: Language, EcologyandtheStories we live by. After the coronavirus pandemic, man realized that a search for a different discourse is a must. This study is conducted within the framework of the sociocognitive model of critical discourse analysis by van Dijk (2006, 2008a, 2009). In this model, van Dijk does not only consider the phonological, syntactic, morphological and semantic levels of a discourse, but also he goes beyond to the level of production and perception of a discourse.
