There are times when we take our planet for granted. We forget to notice how beautiful it is, how full of variety, and diversity it is. We forget to notice how much happiness its green grasses, its mountains, its oceans, and its sunsets give us. In this superb and beautifully produced book, a collection of photographs showing Earth?s natural beauties and her children, are perfectly paired with a minimal lyrical text. Among other things we see deserts and forests, trees covered with glorious fall leaves, and the luminous, shy, happy and playful faces of children who come from all over the world.
This book is a wonderful tribute to our home and a reminder that it is a place which we must protect so that generations of children can enjoy its wonders.
