I can't recommend this collection highly enough and will be sharing with colleagues in school as well as suggesting it as a read for our teacher book groups. A WONDERful book! * ReadingZone * it's as awe-inspiring and thoughtful as you'd hope * Indybest * this gorgeously illustrated anthology covers everything from oceans and rivers to fossils. * Red magazine * The book is a celebration of our planet and the natural world, and there's plenty here to inspire children (and adults) to do all that we can to keep it safe, with Gerard Benson's A Small Star and Pascale Petit's #ExtinctionRebellion providing great talking points with our older readers about climate change and what we can all do to help make a difference. -- Sarah Dawson * The Independent *
