Let's Be Earthlings
A little alien touches down on our amazing planet. Able to shape-shift into every form of Earth life, he becomes all kinds of Earth creatures, from a beaver to a chameleon, from a frog to a kangaroo, a puppy, even a flea – and then a flower-bud and a tree. The visitor finds a constant succession of exciting surprises on our Earth – there is only one thing missing. A friend to share it all with.
Mary Murphy's simple yet profound words and images show young children the beauty and diversity of life on Earth – and in doing so, help them understand that they need to look after our precious planet.
Mary Murphy is celebrated internationally for her colourful, bold and simple images matched with words which speak directly to young children. She is author-illustrator, which have been sold all over the world. Her previous book for Otter-Barry Books is Only a Tree Knows How To Be a Tree (2021). Mary lives in her home city of Dublin, Ireland.
