Animals Help the Earth

Maybe we should help them back

We might not survive if we don’t protect them

—

Be good to the earth

Remember to take care of it

Be good to animals you don’t know

—

littering is not good

But we can help their land

And form a team to protect it

Here We Are

Written by Oliver Jeffers

Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth by Oliver Jeffers is a children’s book that serves as a gentle, humorous, and heartfelt “user’s guide” to our planet, created for his son but with universal appeal. It uses his signature illustrations to explain Earth’s land, sea, sky, and its diverse inhabitants, emphasizing kindness, tolerance, and the idea that we are all connected, despite our differences. The book covers basic concepts like day/night, taking care of our bodies, and the vastness of space, all while encouraging empathy and care for the planet and each other,
