Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 2—This simple ode to the planet emphasizes its beauty and natural resources and the responsibility of the youngest generation to care for it in the future. Beginning by noting how our planet is particularly unique, the authors cover different features of Earth that are in danger of being destroyed: water, soil, trees, animals, etc. They write in the third person ("Our trees," "Let's protect our air,") to develop a sense of collective responsibility. A refrain familiar from John Lewis appears on most pages: "If not us, then who?" However, other than the statement that "we don't always take care of our planet," the cause of destruction is not placed on any group or entity. Likewise, the illustrations focus on the majesty of the earth, presenting digital depictions of the planet's striking beauty, along with fewer of its ongoing devastation. A group of children diverse in race and ability move through the pages on spreads and vignettes of landscapes and seascapes. The book finishes with an authors' note and an activity list, featuring basic conservationist suggestions such as replacing paper towels with cloth and turning the water off while brushing one's teeth. VERDICT A passionate love letter to Earth and a plea for environmental protection; light on actual steps, it's an important starting point and introduction to the topic.—Clara Hendricks

Review

With its emphasis on the importance of these resources, this is a highly appropriate tool to open conversations about the environment...This conservation message is gently and effectively conveyed. --Kirkus Reviews

The illustrations are beautifully done and provide young readers with concrete examples of ways they can positively impact Earth...Authors Murphy and Gordon have written a masterpiece that not only celebrates Earth for all its amazing qualities, but also implores its readers to do their part in protecting it for years to come. --Feathered Quill
