If you come to Earth, there are a few things you need to know…

Things like:

Our planet is the “greeny-blue one.”

It has “green and brown bits.” Land.

And blue stuff. Water.

There are big cities, small towns, tiny villages.

Homes. Families.  Even identical twins are different.

In fact, many others things are different, too.

Weather and clothing. Vehicles and schools. Work and play.

Animals and music. Colors and sounds.

The world is a beautiful and a mysterious place.

“There are lots of things we don’t know… But right this minute,

we are here together on this beautiful planet.”

This gorgeous book by Two-Time Caldecott Medalist, Sophie Blackall was many years in the making, and believe me, it was worth the wait.

If You Come to Earth is a glorious guide to our home planet, and a call for us to take care of both Earth and each other.

This stunning book is inspired by the thousands of children Sophie Blackall has met during her travels around the world in support of UNICEF and Save the Children.
