Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth

Product Information

This charming story is a joyful way for families to honor the planet's many gifts on Earth Day especially, but its messages resonate year round. In Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth, we first meet Finn as a newborn fresh home from the hospital, as his father begins his instruction about the world and Finn's place in it. Fast forward seven years, and an insatiably curious Finn continues to be a sponge for knowledge, flanked by his parents who encourage his desire to learn. Their adventures together remind viewers of the simple joys of being together and learning new things. Especially made for young children, the movie is gentle and educational and includes many positive messages about conserving Earth. Some messages might need some explanation for children aged four years and under, so we recommend parental guidance for this age group. https://www.animationmagazine.net/streaming/a-love-letter-to-our-planet-here-we-are-debuts-friday-on-apple-tv/ The book tells us that ‘there is enough for everyone’. Is everything shared equally between people on the planet? Why? The dodo explains that it isn’t supposed to be in the book. Why is this? Can you find out about other animals that have become extinct? What can we do to protect animals on our planet?

Me gustaría comenzar esta reseña con una frase de Carl Sagan en referencia a la imagen captada por la sonda espacial Vogayer 1 en 1990. En ella, en ese pálido punto azul, estamos nosotros. Esa es la Tierra.for BMW, KRADVAT, HERMAN MILLAR and the ONE.org (RED).org charities. His diverse body of work also includes the multi-award-winning short film AH POOK IS HERE - an interpretation of recordings by William S. Burroughs. How many different types of plants can you see in the book? How many animals? How many different habitats? The truth is that many people who call the Earth home sometimes forget to take care of it. Anyone who owns a car knows the things you need to go to keep it running smoothly: fill it up with petrol and oil, get a regular service and go easy on the gears. The same is true for houses, which the diligent homeowner will ensure are regularly cleaned and tended to, serviced and maintained. When it comes to Earth, though, we are a little less conscientious. Mira de nuevo a ese punto. Eso es aquí. Es nuestra casa. Eso somos nosotros. En ese punto están todos los que amas, todos los que conoces, todos de los que has escuchado hablar, cada ser humano que alguna vez existió, aquellos que vivieron sus vidas. La suma de nuestra alegría y sufrimiento, miles de religiones, ideologías, doctrinas económicas, cada cazador y recolector, cada héroe y cobarde, cada creador y destructor de la civilización, cada rey y campesino, cada pareja enamorada, cada madre y cada padre, niños llenos de esperanza, inventores y exploradores, cada maestro con ética, cada político corrupto, cada superestrella, cada líder supremo, cada santo y pecador en la historia de nuestra especie vivió allí, en una mota de polvo suspendida en un rayo de sol.”

Like all good children's books, 'Here We Are' is a story that has just as much to offer for adults as it does children. For any parents, carers and family sharing this book with new arrivals there is an important message – to be kind, and take care of the Earth, as it really is all we have. Traigo a colación esto porque Aquí estamos, nos habla precisamente, de lo hermoso que es nuestro planeta. De su diversidad, no solo entre sus animales, sino en sus humanos; nos habla de valores, de lo mucho que le hace falta a este planeta, del valor que le damos a la vida y de nuestro lugar aquí, donde estamos. Para mí, una adulta de 27 que aun busca su camino, sus ilustraciones y palabras me hicieron pensar y pensar en dónde estoy y qué hago. The main messages from this movie are that we all feel lost at times and we need to start with what we know. We also need to treat everyone with kindness and respect. And although there are 7.5 billion people on Earth, there’d be enough for everyone if we all share.In this video, Oliver Jeffers talks about the creation of this book.
