Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth
Categories: Children's Books
Here We Are (2017) is the illustrated picture book Oliver Jeffers wrote for his newborn son as a guide to life on Earth. It moves from the solar system down to land, sea and the human body, and on to people, time and how to treat one another, with gentle humor and wide-open spreads. The message is simple: the planet is big and full of different people, so be kind and look after it.
