Our world can be a bewildering place, especially if you’ve only just got here. Your head will be filled with questions, so let’s explore what makes our planet and how we live on it. From land and sky, to people and time, these notes can be your guide and start you on your journey. And you’ll figure lots of things out for yourself. Just remember to leave notes for everyone else… Some things about our planet are pretty complicated, but things can be simple, too: you’ve just got to be kind. 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. Y es que este libro ilustrado te invita a recordar que todos somos diferentes, pero al mismo tiempo, iguales. Te invita a recordar que eres parte de algo, de un planeta, aunque a veces en el traqueteo de la vida no te des cuenta. Por su sencillez, al ser una obra dedicada hacia los niños, Oliver Jeffers transmite todo ese amor de manera efímera, en una gama de colores brillantes y muy pocas palabras. Creo que para un niño puede resultar más sencillo de entender, porque normalmente, creo yo, son puros y no tienen la cabeza llena de pensamientos angustiantes y dolorosos como los adultos. No juzgan por religiones, aspectos o estatus. Creo que los adultos sí tendemos a hacerlo y por ello, Jeffers habla mayormente de lo que él quiere transmitir a su hijo: el mensaje del amor.https://in.mashable.com/entertainment/12827/apple-tv-debuts-stunning-trailer-for-short-film-here-we-are-notes-for-living-on-planet-earth

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. Así que aquí estamos, en ese pálido punto azul. Pequeñas motas de polvo existiendo por un momento. Arrojados a través del espacio y el tiempo, tan solo para brillar por unos momentos. Estos momentos son todo lo que tenemos en esta vida. Trabajamos, reímos, lloramos, hacemos el amor, escribimos libros, construimos imperios, creamos guerras. A menudo tratamos de ignorar el hecho de que estos momentos son temporales. Que todos nuestros imperios y el producto nacional bruto, que nuestro arte y nuestra literatura, que nuestros pantalones de diseñador de trescientos dólares, que todo nuestro conocimiento y tecnología, creatividad y legado será borrado. Todo va a desaparecer en algún punto junto a todo lo demás.Our solar system is one of millions, billions, trillions. Can you write these numbers using digits? https://readysteadycut.com/2020/04/16/review-here-we-are-notes-for-living-on-planet-earth-apple-tv-plus-film/ Here We Are' is a beautiful, heart-warming book, which is perfect for little minds as they prepare to start their journey into the great unknown. The story is made all the more uplifting when one hears of its origins. Jeffers, having just returned from the hospital following the birth of his first child, and brimming with joy, pride, and an overwhelming desire to nurture, came up with the idea for the book while introducing his baby to their new home. Celebrated author/artist Oliver Jeffers, inspired by the birth of his son, presents a picture-book love letter to our planet in this beautiful new book. "Here we are," the narrator informs us, pointing to our blue globe, as it hangs in space. From the land to the sea, from people to animals, all the wonderful, marvelous kinds of creature and thing that go to make up our planet are detailed. So too are various pieces of advice about living in this world of ours, from cherishing the time we have (there isn't much of it) to being kind to the other residents. In the end, on Earth, you are never alone...

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? Watch this video trailer for the book. Could you make your own trailer for this book (or another one of your favourite books)? 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. In this video, Oliver Jeffers talks about the creation of this book. What questions would you like to ask him? 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.https://www.animationscoop.com/animator-philip-hunt-on-here-we-are-notes-for-living-on-planet-earth/ The world can be a bewildering place, says Jeffers, especially if you have only just got here, and with this in mind, 'Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth' takes all new earthlings on a delightful journey, introducing the many marvellous things that make up our home planet.

How many animals? How many different habitats? https://fansided.com/2020/04/15/here-we-are-notes-for-living-on-planet-earth-illuminating-inspiration/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. 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. https://www.animationmagazine.net/streaming/a-love-letter-to-our-planet-here-we-are-debuts-friday-on-apple-tv/ 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.”
