The Earth & Me
How The Turtle Got Its Shell
Click picture to look inside.

When a curious child wonders how our planet came to be, the Earth answers in beautiful poetic form, telling the wondrous, and sometimes destructive tale of the history of the Earth and its creatures. As its awe-inspiring story comes to an end, the Earth joins "hand in hand" with the child as they reach out to children of all nations, to honor and protect the Earth. The rich oil painted illustrations and the powerful music of the companion audio were inspired by the original Shadow Box Theatre production. Children and adults alike will read the story, revisit the illustrations, and listen to the music over and over again.

"All things are interconnected. What befalls the earth, befalls the sons and daughters of the earth. We did not weave the web of life, we are merely a strand in it. Whatever we do the web, we do to ourselves!" - Chief Seattle

:: Reviews

"I like how the book explains how the Earth was so quiet until people came along, fighting with each other for land and it’s making the Earth get hurt. The bears, butterflies,, dolphins, and eagles are all something special to the Earth. I really love the book." -J., PS 151K

"I really like your books. I love the words and the drawings. The Earth & Me is a little sad a lot of happiness. I liked the rainbow. It is so happy. I love your books."-Cheyanne, PS151K

"The book The Earth & Me was a great book. I like how you mentioned the guardians of the Earth like the turtle, bear, butterfly, and eagle. I think your book would be a good influence on the world because it talks about what we do to the Earth and how it feels." -Joel, PS151K
