"We are the earth come to life." The Family of Earth, a treasure book of words and images, is guaranteed to make you view the world in a whole new way. Author/artist Schim Schimmel reminds us that even though the world may look different to each of us - from the vast, green forests of the gorilla, to the endless grassy plains of the lion - we are all part of the same family of earth. Through simple, poetic text and lush artwork, The Family of Earth will touch young and old alike.
