My Breathing Earth

Written by Paul Many, illustrated by Tisha Lee

It slips through my window each morning. It bounces our bubbles like little boats bobbing. It pulls the clouds aside so the smiling moon can light up my room.

In this poignant and lyrical tale, author Paul Many and artist Tisha Lee evoke the joy that a little girl experiences as she thrills to the beauty of what she calls “Earth’s breath”—the air surrounding her. Delightful illustrations draw readers through the girl’s vivid sensations of Earth’s breath from the time it flutters her eyelashes open in the morning until it cradles her as she sleeps at night. An author’s note provides fun facts about the atmosphere, as well as actions children may take to help their Earth breathe better. Perfect for gift-giving, this charming book is sure to become a treasured addition to any child’s library and will inspire the curious minds of young environmentalists and nature lovers alike.
