Meanwhile Back on Earth . . .
Meanwhile Back on Earth . . .: Finding Our Place Through Time and Space | Oliver Jeffers
3 posts | 2 read
A spectacular new picture book from the creator of international bestselliers Here We Are and What We’ll Build that will give readers perspective on our place in space. A father takes his two children on a thrilling out-of-this-world adventure into space and invites them to look back at Earth and the conflicts that have taken place since the beginning of time. This becomes a brief history of the world and a guide to the universe, told with Oliver Jeffers's inimitable perspective, wit and exquisite artwork. Meanwhile Back on Earth gives a unique look at life on Earth with a cosmic perspective – and an enduring message that what binds us together matters more than what sets us apart. A timely story for families everywhere.

#MarchMagic Day 17: Written by #IrishAuthor, this is a book I wanted to like because hey Oliver Jeffers, but didn‘t quite hit the spot for me. The narrative remained a White-centric narration of colonization that presented a litany of historical conflicts without necessarily providing a window of redemption for humans‘ follies. Here‘s my full review that includes a video of Jeffers while here at the EmiratesLitFest: https://wp.me/pDlzr-p5x

I've been an Oliver Jeffers fan since I first discovered The Incredible Book Eating Boy. I haven't loved all of his books but when he gets them right (IMO!) they're brilliant. Yesterday I sat and savoured this. It's quite long on pages, short on words but every single word carefully chosen. It's about humans and space and conflict, earth and history. A beautiful book.

For #ominousoctober and moon, I read this adorable picture book today where a family drive through the solar system, including the moon, and we learn some really gorgeous stuff about conflict on earth through the ages. On my autumn bucket list I had read picture books in a bookshop so this counts for that too!
