Editorial Reviews
Review
-"A sweet and tender distillation of what every Earthling needs to know and might well spend a lifetime striving to achieve. A must-purchase for new parent shelves." --School Library Journal
-"From the skies to the animal kingdom to the people of the world and lots of other beautifully rendered examples of life on Earth, Here We Are carries a simple message: Be kind." --NPR
-"A true work of art."--Buzzfeed
-"A must-have book for parents."--Gambit
-"A celebration of people all shapes and sizes, and of the beauty and mystery of our Earth."--Booklist
-“Mr. Jeffers captures the love and the poignancy in what is styled as an introduction to a newcomer… Rich colors, witty pictures and a kind sensibility make this book, published late last year, a nice bedtime choice for readers ages 2-6.”--The Wall Street Journal
-"...a beautifully illustrated guide to living on Earth and being a good person." --Brightly
-"Something of a user's guide to being alive and to life on Earth, Jeffers brilliantly uses pen and paintbrush to explore profound and puzzling questions, establishing straight off that the wisdom imparted here is wisdom for us all."--Chicago Tribune
-[Here We Are] is a tour through the land, the sea, the sky, our bodies; dioramas of our wild diversity....[Jeffers] is the master of capturing the joy in our differences."--New York Times Book Review

Here We Are is a beautiful, sensitive and fun book. Perfect as a gift for new parents and anyone who cares about the earth and it's inhabitants, especially in these uncertain times.
I will be purchasing some of these for gifts as well!
Looking forward to reading this one over and over again!!!

Note: This book is clearly intended to be read to new babies (one line says something like "you can't speak yet"), but my 3-year-old and 8-year-old love it anyway (and unfortunately, I did not know about it when they were babies, so it's not just nostalgia that's got them hooked).

Quite simply everyone young and old should have a copy of this book.

Having just read it for the first time it really has taken my breath away, just incredible illustrations and poignant words.
I cannot wait to get reading this with my daughters (aged 1 & 4), I think they will love it and I just know how much pleasure we’ll get from snuggling up at bedtime reading this book and talking about it together as they grow. I look forward to reading it with them as they get older too, seeing them understand different aspects of it a little more.
I can’t see this book spending long on our bookshelf at all.
I would highly recommend this book as a gift for any aged child or adult. I am planning on buying another copy as a new baby gift and writing a little message inside.
