If You Come to Earth
A love letter to our beautiful, complicated world
Written as a charming letter to a visitor from outer space, this extraordinary book is both a guide to our planet and a celebration of what makes humanity wonderful. Two-time Caldecott Medal winner Sophie Blackall has created something truly special—a visual encyclopedia of life on Earth that feels as intimate as a bedtime story and as vast as the universe itself.
Through the voice of a curious child named Quinn, readers discover the magnificent diversity of our world: the countless ways we live, love, communicate, and connect. From the foods we eat and the homes we build to the languages we speak and the dreams we chase, every page reveals new wonders about human experience. Blackall's signature Chinese ink and watercolour illustrations invite endless exploration, with intricate details that reward close examination and spark countless conversations.
Inspired by the thousands of children Sophie met during her travels with UNICEF and Save the Children, this book bridges cultures and languages through the universal power of visual storytelling. Each carefully researched page celebrates both our differences and our shared humanity, creating a work that feels both educational and deeply moving. At 80 pages, it's a book to savour slowly and return to again and again.
Suitable for children aged 5 years and up
