Description
From two-time Caldecott Winner author-illustrator Sophie Blackall!
If You Come to Earth is a glorious guide to our home planet, and a call for us to take care of both Earth and each other.

If you come to Earth, there are a few things you need to know . . .
We live in all kinds of places.

In all kinds of families.
Each of us is different. But all of us are amazing.
And, together, we share one beautiful planet.
