It is powerful to show how small this little planet is in all that space and then when you see all the diversity and wonders on Earth, it really does make this place feel special. Traigo a colación esto porque Aquí estamos, nos habla precisamente, de lo hermoso que es nuestro planeta. Me gustaría comenzar esta reseña con una frase de Carl Sagan en referencia a la imagen captada por la sonda espacial Vogayer 1 en 1990.

All of the important things about life and the world are distilled in this sparse text and gorgeously illustrated volume. I'm much preferring Jeffers' newer work since he wrote This Moose Belongs to Me, his standard of art has greatly improved and this book is no exception. As a picture book creator Oliver Jeffers has been the recipient of some of children's books highest accolades, including the Nestle Gold Medal for Lost and Found and the Irish Picture Book of the Year for The Incredible Book Eating Boy. Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth is Jeffers' newest book, and I think that it is (along with A Child of Books) one of my absolute favorites.We explore a range of fiction and non-fiction linked to the story as well as vocabulary, inference, and a guide of pages, teaching points, activities and questions linked to the book. So I admit I turned to Popova and for the first time, read the article all the way through, and read then about this book!
