Critical Reviews
"A beautiful call to action...A perfect read for teaching about empathy and demonstrating the ways we are all connected. Highly Recommended."-- "CM: Canadian Review of Materials"
"So much to look at and discuss. In this short book the authors have helped readers begin to think about answers to the question: "How do you live now to help future generations?"...Will surely find a place in classrooms and libraries, especially as talk turns to Earth Day later this spring. Recommended."-- "School Library Connection"
"A perfect read-aloud for introducing the importance of caring for the earth."-- "Booklist"
