19 posts | 6 read
We walk on Earths surface every day, but how often do we wonder about the incredible planet around us? From the molten cracks below to the shimmering moon above, Hello, Earth! explores the wonders of the natural world. This playful journey across our puzzle-piece continents does not hesitate to ask questionseven of the Earth itself! Joyce Sidmans imaginative poems encourage boundless curiosity, and Miren Asiain Loras stunning paintings capture the beauty of Earths ecosystems, creatures, and powerhouse plants. The book concludes with extensive scientific material to foster further learning about how the earth works, from water cycles to plate tectonics to the origin of ocean tides. A gorgeous, expansive celebration of science and art, Hello, Earth! is a book to cherish in whatever landscape you call home.

“I am the sky, vast and blue, I am the earth, rich and true.”
I like this quote because it beautifully encapsulates the profound connection between humanity and the natural world. It personifies both the sky and the earth, emphasizing their significance and the sense of belonging we have to our planet.

In a quiet moment of reflection, a young boy stood beneath a towering oak tree, its leaves rustling gently in the breeze. He looked up, marveling at how the sun filtered through the branches, creating a mosaic of light and shadow on the ground.
