Hello, Earth!: Poems to Our Planet by Joyce Sidman
5.0
This review and many more can be found on my blog: Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Hello, Earth! is a beautiful picture book homage to our planet. There are poems that talk about the earth and its place in the solar system, its origins, its geological features and biomes, its creatures, humans' interactions with the planet, and more. The poems are relatively simple and sweet, but the author utilizes poetic devices that add a sense of lyrical style. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and contain so many fun little details; it's almost like an Easter egg hunt to find them all! And at the end of the book is a non-fiction section that talks more in-depth about the concepts from each of the poems, making this sweet book an ideal addition to a classroom library!
