Touch the Earth (Julian Lennon White Feather Flier Adventure)

I love this book! I love the way it's written, the illustrations. I love the way the reader can interact and feel as though they're accomplishing the goals in the book. I bought three of these books by Julian Lennon for my great grand nephew, who'sfour years old. But I think I will buy them for my great Grammy's, his sister also and his seven-year-old uncle!

I really love this book. It's got spirit. It takes the readers on a journey - an adventure that the child can be part of.It's a fun story, in which the reader travels around the world in a charming airplane called the White Feather Flier, to help solve problems. This White Feather Flier can also become a submarine and go under water. The book engages the child by encouraging the child to touch things in the book. It teaches the child about maps, and you learn about north, south, east and west, by pointing the Flier in different directions. The journey takes the reader around the world to help solve environmental problems, like helping fish by cleaning up plastic in the ocean, and solving water problems in dry regions, etc.These things are all explained in a very SIMPLE way, that a small child can understand.The illustrations are very cute. The story is fun. However, what's more important is that this is a book that can make children feel EMPOWERED. The world that the children of today are inheriting from us, has a lot of environmental problems that they will have to deal with. Personally, I believe that we actually can do something about it. And this book makes them understand that they can do something about it, and have fun while doing it.I have been an environmentalist for many years, and I babysit my friend's children often. When I read this book to them, they feel empowered.I love this book for it's spirit.

This is such an awesome story. It teaches about important things we can do to protect the Earth and help with problems. The board book style would be the best choice. There are frequent pretend buttons the kids can push to interact more with the story. Even my older children fight over who is going to push the drawing of the button on each page.

As a mother of three girls, I have learned to know which books my children come across that will become family staples. This is one of them!! What I especially like is that it encourages the child to use their imagination instead of utilizing digital buttons or beeps. When my 5 year old plays out the actions the book calls for, it energizes her and seems to plug her even more into the book. Touch The Earth WILL get tattered and torn but this is the sign of a well loved book!! The message is sooo important for the children of the world; it is their tender, impressionable age that can be imprinted with the information and tools to tackle the challenges they'll face in their future role of protecting their planet. Thank goodness for authors such as Julian Lennon for recognizing that one of the greatest resources the Earth has is in teaching our children the 'A, B, C's' of conservation!

Imaginative, unique, clever, gentle and utterly different than most children's fare. Julian Lennon certainly Is living his best life. A special person who has certainly taken the lemons in his life and turned them into lemonade. What's not to like? Any child will be easily entertained by the inspiring story and illustrations, while at the same time absorbing the concepts of conservation and environmentalism that are definitely going to be a big part of the future for the youngest set. I love that it invites the young reader to touch and actually interact with each point made in a non-tech way, and I appreciate the fact that the text is not overly simplistic or boringly repetitive. I applaud Julian's activism for the Earth, perhaps this is his destiny. Let's hope Julian turns that lovely poem at the end into song. Mom Cynthia must be so proud of the son she taught to "fly without wings".

Happy to receive the first of three in the series, a little disappointed that the paper cover is dirty. Not sure if this was a used product, thankfully its not a gift its to read to my first grandchild.

Love the book and the interaction while reading. My daughter wanted something that encouraged kindness, taking care of the Earth, and Acts of Kindness. This book fit the picture perfectly for my grandson who is just born this month. My daughter was in awe that I found a book written by "Julian Lennon", and his reasons for writing the book too. Interested in his programs that he promotes also. Others loved the book too, so all round Great Book! Fast Delivery!

My adult special needs (Autism and Down Syndrome nonverbal) son LOVES this book! It's one of several in his rotation of books I read to him at night. He will go in his room and "read" it in his own language, and can pronounce some of the words <3 He will interact with the story at the proper times and enjoys being apart of the book/story.These books are wonderful for all ages and abilities. Heal The Earth and Touch the Earth. Love these books!!
