The Planet We Call Home

A lyrical and loving ode to Planet Earth and the ways in which its many features are interconnected–to each other and to us–told in the cumulative style of This Is the House that Jack Built.

This is our Earth, the planet we call home.

These are the mountains,
stretching from Earth,
the planet we call home.

This is the sun,
that warms up the mountains, stretching from Earth,
the planet we call home.

And on the story goes: The planet we call home has mountains that stretch from the earth, and those mountains have streams that swell in the sun, and those streams lead to rivers that meander by towns, and on and on-all interconnected and all dependent on one another. And throughout it all is us, the people who call this planet home, and who care for its many wonders and help keep it beautiful and vibrant for generations to come.

With a warm, cumulative text by debut author Aimee Isaac, gorgeous, sweeping art by award-winning and bestselling illustrator Jaime Kim, this is a perfect read for budding environmentalists-and for anyone who loves the planet we all call home.
