Story Meanwhile, on Earth...

Meanwhile, Back on Earth tells the story of humanity from a cosmic perspective. Following Here We Are and What We'll Build, Oliver Jeffers presents an impressive picture book that offers his unique vision of our place in space. A father, along with his son and daughter, embarks on an exciting journey into space, from which they reflect on the conflicts that have marked Earth's history from its beginnings. They do so in a fascinating way: they convert the distance between Earth and other planets into years, and look back in time to observe what was happening on Earth then. A brief history of the world and a concise guide to the universe with an enduring message: what unites us is more important than what divides us. All told with Oliver Jeffers' unmistakable perspective, wit, and exquisite art.
