"I've always admired Julian Lennon's singing, because for all he
has seen of the world, his melodies contain such childlike
wonder... his words too. Buy this book, and his words turn into
actions."
-Bono "It's rare to find a beautiful book that speaks directly to
kids, in both a playful and thoughtful way, about something as
important as caring for our planet and all of its inhabitants.
Touch The Earth combines this magic with true hand-to-page
interactivity deftly woven into the narrative (and illustrations),
creating a story I believe both kids and adults will want to read
over and over again."
-Laurie Berkner "When a book takes you on an adventure, it's a good
thing and allows you to think about something in a new way. When a
book also reminds us how to treat what we have, it's even better
because it's a win win. That's exactly what Julian has done with
his book... he's given us a Win Win."
-Whoopie Goldberg "The first in Julian Lennon's White Feather Flier
Adventure trilogy, Touch the Earth takes readers on a journey in a
magical plane that allows them to send clean water to the thirsty,
clean oceans of pollution, and 'make the world a better
place.'"
-New York Magazine "Lennon's debut picture book, the first in a
planned trilogy, asks readers to hop aboard a magical airplane, the
White Feather Flier (a name inspired by his father and his own
environmental and humanitarian foundation), and go on a "helping
adventure" to protect the planet's oceans and water supply. [The
illustrations] ... have a sweet-natured directness that may light
up younger eyes."
-Publishers Weekly "[Touch the Earth] is a fun book AND it's an
educational one as well.... The book helps teach kids a wonderful
lesson for Earth Day and every day beyond."
-Peanut Butter and Whine "The artwork is beautiful... It really is
stunning."
-TODAY "I was immediately impressed with the interactive nature of
the book. Although not all books lend themselves to this style,
books that include elements of interactivity help resonate with
kids more so when there's a lesson to be learned. Some books ask
questions of kids, and some books, like this one, encourage kids to
touch the picture, lean into the story, and really feel like
they're in the book."
-Motherhood Moment "A very timely book.... A children's book, if
done well, and this one is, lives on and on."
-Al Roker "A passion project that comes from the heart, this
stunningly illustrated book is inspired by the white feather he was
given by his father when he was young."
-Mom and More ***** Praise for Skyhorse Publihsing "My first series
became a New York Times bestselling children's series, and that
would have never happened without Skyhorse. . . . It's a great
feeling, having them at my side."
-Mark Cheverton, New York Times bestselling childrens author "I now
believe the best word to describe me as an author is spoiled.
That's because the folks at Sky Pony have truly made me feel
special about being in their stable. My editor is top-notch, and
has a unique way of making me feel like her most important
author."
-Nancy Krulik, New York Times bestselling childrens author
