Love, the Earth -- Frances Stickley, Hardcover

With vibrant artwork and an affecting poetic text narrated by the Earth, this magnificent ode to our planet serves as a call to action.

I am the Earth.
All yours to share.
The mountains and the Arctic air. . . .
And now you're here, so small and new--
a tiny little dream come true.
Don't worry. I'll take care of you.
Will you take care of me?

Told from the perspective of the Earth, this moving picture book--part love letter, part rallying cry--tours the epic and ordinary wonders of the natural world and entreats us to do our bit to help the planet in turn. Combining Frances Stickley's welcoming, rhyming text and spectacular artwork by best-selling illustrator Tim Hopgood, this enchanting celebration is essential reading to connect young minds with the beauty of nature.
