Chorus
We’re never alone
So many creatures
Exist around us
…. We set the tone
Our senses serve us
So distinctly
Verses
Blue Bears
The oceans, trees, grass, leaves….
Give a house for everybody
The oceans, trees, give us breeze
The moon is white
The sun is yellow, hello, fellow creatures in the meadow
—
Yellow Ducks
We feel the sun and smell the air
All the creatures are everywhere
The sound of rustling trees
In a slight gentle breeze
—
Super Stars!!!
(Geoff forgot the name of the group. He’s very sorry. You Rock!!!
Our ecosystem is a miracle, so keep it safe
You can’t do it alone, do it together
We are affecting the world around us
So make it better!
So make it better!
So make it better!
—
Blue Whales
The leaves on all the trees
And birds they always sing
Drifting clouds and the cold breeze
The animals run so wild and free
Oh so free-eee-eeeee

About the Book
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,
