This is the Earth that we treat with respect, where people and animals interconnect, where we learn to find balance between give and take and help heal the planet with choices we make.

In their signature spare, rhyming verse, Diane Z. Shore and Jessica Alexander deliver a powerful nonfiction picture book on a topic that’s timelier than ever.

This Is the Earth takes readers on a journey through hundreds of years as it explores how humans have affected the environment and shows the ways in which we can all care for the planet-and how everyone can help save the world.
