Why read it?
1 author picked Here as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
In a clear, but profound way, Laura Alary’s picture book, Here, helps children to see the scope of their existence.
She starts with something familiar, “This is my home. I live here. But I am not the first.” Then she takes the reader back in time and space to show some good things (gardens) and some bad things (a garbage dump) on Earth. Charming illustrations by Cathrin Peterslund pair well with the text.
While it doesn’t specifically mention God, it calls on the responsibility of each person to take care of “This Dot We Call Home.”
From Amy's list on Christian Earth Day books for kids.
