This charming tale, told in the voice of the Earth, invites readers to explore the vast and beautiful web of people, plants, animals, and natural resources that make up our planet. Through this story and the stunning illustrations, we come to understand both the interconnected nature of life on Earth and the need to care for and preserve our fragile ecosystem.

This book will be an invaluable resource for K-6 teachers as a tool for bringing the topics of ecology and natural science to life. Used as a read-aloud, the youngest will be enchanted by the story and the colorful illustrations as they gain an awareness of their role in preserving our planet. The text, along with the supplemental pages that follow, will provide older students and their teachers with in-depth yet accessible information regarding the challenges of managing resources with specific ideas about how each of us can do our part.

This gorgeous, multi-faceted book is an absolute gem, and a must-have for every family and classroom!

“We Are One” is an inspiring picture book that highlights how deeply interconnected we all are on our beautiful planet Earth. It empowers readers of all ages to care for the Earth, presents a hopeful, action-focused perspective, and features playful, lovely illustrations. The book’s interactive questions throughout the text encourage deeper discussion and invite further exploration. There is a robust section that equips readers with immediate, practical actions they can take to care for the planet. The back matter adds clear, concise information on many topics and includes helpful resources for teachers, librarians, and parents. I highly recommend this book to be included in all school libraries, classroom libraries, and home libraries.
