“Well that is Planet Earth. Make sure you look after it, as it’s all we’ve got.”

This beautifully illustrated book presents Earth as something precious that needs to be protected by all generations. The story shows both the beauty of the world as well as its problems while staying optimistic, for: “Though we have come a long way, we haven’t quite worked everything out, so there is plenty left for you to do.”

The artwork supports the story so that young readers can understand and deduce the meaning of new words. The story could be a wonderful conversation starter about the importance of protecting the environment as well as the beauty of diversity.
