"There are many worlds spinning through space,
but this world is special.
This is no ordinary world.
Billions of animals.
More animals that all the twinkling stars in the night sky.
And all of these animals are the children of this world.
For this world is their mother.
And we call this world Mother Earth."

Powerful book.

Mother Earth asks that we take care of her....for us..
all of us. Here is an excerpt:

"Dear Children of the Earth"

"I am the boulders and trees you love to climb.
I am the wet sand at the beach that squishes
under your bare feet.
I am the cool green forests, the hot red deserts,
and the cold white glaciers.
I love to hug you with my warm sunshine,
tickle you with my wind, and kiss you with my rain."
