From crust to conservation, our planet explained

This spectacular book transforms our home planet into a fascinating house tour, inviting children to explore Earth's incredible systems through stunning illustrations and engaging storytelling. From the "security system" of our magnetic shield to the "greenhouse" of natural habitats, author Emmanuelle Figueras uses the metaphor of a shared home to explain how everything on Earth is wonderfully connected.

Sarah Tavernier and Alexandre Verhille's eye-popping illustrations bring to life our planet's 4.6-billion-year story—from the earth's crust and continents to the oceans in between. Children discover how tectonic plates form the "first floor," while continents become "living rooms" in this remarkable planetary home we all share.

More than just fascinating geography, this book gently opens children's eyes to the importance of caring for our magnificent planet. Through practical examples of conservation—from saving water and trees to looking out for each other—it shows how we can all work together as good tenants of planet Earth.

Created by Little Gestalten, this beautifully crafted book makes sustainability and conservation feel both accessible and inspiring, perfect for young readers ready to understand their role as Earth's next generation of caretakers.

Suitable for children aged 10 years and up.

Format: 27 × 37 cm hardcover, 48 pages, full colour

Why we chose it

What makes this book special is how it takes something as vast as our planet and makes it feel like home—literally. The house metaphor is brilliant for helping children understand complex environmental systems, and the illustrations are genuinely stunning.

It strikes the right balance between inspiring wonder about our natural world and encouraging thoughtful stewardship without being preachy. This is environmental education at its most beautiful and accessible.
