Reminds me how beautiful this work is and how luck I am to be living in it。 My problems seem insignificant in comparison to the scope of the world and I should always keep perspective。

As a first time parent， this book resonates much of the writer's feelings。 I love that there is so much to talk about on each page with my daughter。 The conversations change with each milestone and we have been able to read this book from 6 months thru 3 yrs now :） This is a book close to my heart。 As a first time parent， this book resonates much of the writer's feelings。 I love that there is so much to talk about on each page with my daughter。 The conversations change with each milestone and we have been able to read this book from 6 months thru 3 yrs now :） This is a book close to my heart。 。。。more

An average read。 I enjoyed the illustrations and how they provided opportunities to play "can you find the。。。？" or to discuss other things。 But overall I felt other books with the same concept of introducing Earth to others were more enjoyable。 An average read。 I enjoyed the illustrations and how they provided opportunities to play "can you find the。。。？" or to discuss other things。 But overall I felt other books with the same concept of introducing Earth to others were more enjoyable。 。。。more

Haven’t been a fan of the Oliver Jeffers books I’ve read recently but I loved this one。 The illustrations are amazing and so detailed。 His awe-inspiring art portrays what he feels is important for his child to know about life。 His words are few and message subtle。 Planet earth， the starry sky and universe， the land and sea。 Humanity in all its shapes， sizes， and colors， land and sea animals in all shapes， sizes， colors。 A message to be kind to others， to one’s body， and to “look after the earth， Haven’t been a fan of the Oliver Jeffers books I’ve read recently but I loved this one。 The illustrations are amazing and so detailed。 His awe-inspiring art portrays what he feels is important for his child to know about life。 His words are few and message subtle。 Planet earth， the starry sky and universe， the land and sea。 Humanity in all its shapes， sizes， and colors， land and sea animals in all shapes， sizes， colors。 A message to be kind to others， to one’s body， and to “look after the earth， as it’s all we’ve got。” 。。。more

I purchased this book at Target thinking it would be a cute addition for my classroom in the future as I love Oliver Jeffers work in The Day The Crayons Quit and The Day the Crayons Came Home。 This book absolutely should have been a Caldecott winner。 In this tale， we see the typical print and illustration style of Oliver Jeffers， but there are so many different colors and detailed illustrations that are not present in the books he did with Drew Daywalt。 There are several illustrations of the oce I purchased this book at Target thinking it would be a cute addition for my classroom in the future as I love Oliver Jeffers work in The Day The Crayons Quit and The Day the Crayons Came Home。 This book absolutely should have been a Caldecott winner。 In this tale， we see the typical print and illustration style of Oliver Jeffers， but there are so many different colors and detailed illustrations that are not present in the books he did with Drew Daywalt。 There are several illustrations of the oceans， galaxies， planets， and people。 This book is from a loving perspective of a father to a son， though， it could be to students as well。 There are beautiful and bright colors in areas that are typically monochromatic in color， and there are beautiful color gradients on the ocean and I was astounded。 I read this book sitting in front of a window and I got to see them in full color。 I am thrilled to share this with the class。 。。。more

Here We Are is such a great book to read to learn about so many things！ It teaches kids about Earth， space， people， animals， etc。 It teaches that people are different that it okay， and to enjoy time spent on this beautiful planet。 I am for sure putting this on my book list for my future classroom。

Nice summary for being on Earth， but doesn't really discover what it is we are really doing here。 Nice summary for being on Earth， but doesn't really discover what it is we are really doing here。 。。。more

A perfect picture book to share with young children all about things one should know about this amazing place we live and share with all kinds of people and animals， planet Earth。 If the message behind this read could be summarized in one word it would be KINDNESS。 Kindness to others， to animals， to our planet and to ourselves because there is only so much time and space， so we might as well use it well。

Existem livros para crianças que são especiais não só pelas ilustrações e pela sua história， mas também pela mensagem que nos passam a todos nós。 Em “Aqui estamos nós “， Oliver Jeffers escreve para o seu filho， contando-lhe o que é o planeta Terá， onde ele está e faltando-lhe dos seres humanos que nela habitam。 Este livro foi escrito durante os primeiros dois meses de vida do filho de Jeffers e reúne， num único local， tudo aquilo que ele gostaria que o filho soubesse sobre o nosso mundo。 As ilus Existem livros para crianças que são especiais não só pelas ilustrações e pela sua história， mas também pela mensagem que nos passam a todos nós。 Em “Aqui estamos nós “， Oliver Jeffers escreve para o seu filho， contando-lhe o que é o planeta Terá， onde ele está e faltando-lhe dos seres humanos que nela habitam。 Este livro foi escrito durante os primeiros dois meses de vida do filho de Jeffers e reúne， num único local， tudo aquilo que ele gostaria que o filho soubesse sobre o nosso mundo。 As ilustrações são simplesmente adoráveis e deixam radiante qualquer apaixonado por ilustração de livros infantis。 A pouco e pouco， Jeffers vai levantando o véu sobre os curiosos habitantes do planeta Terra e tudo aquilo que eles são capazes de fazer， as suas profissões e os locais onde vivem。 Mais do que umabreve história do planeta Terra， “Aqui estamos nós” é um livro que pretende mostrar o quanto o respeito e a empatia são necessários para todos nós que partilhamos esta grande casa chamada Terra。 Um livro que se enche ainda de maior sentido nesta fase que atravessamos em que vemos vidas a serem afectadas， de forma dramática， por um vírus que nos molda o pensamento e nos restringe a vida em tantas coisas。 Mais do que nunca， falar de respeito e de empatia e mostrar aos mais novos o quanto eles são essenciais na relação com as pessoas que nos rodeiam é essencial。 E assim fiquei apaixonada por este livro que passou directamente para a nossa lista de livros preferidos。 。。。more

My favorite Jeffers book to read to the kid so far。 Definitely my favorite example of his artwork。 Also I always dig the kids books that take the form of a "guide" to being。 My favorite Jeffers book to read to the kid so far。 Definitely my favorite example of his artwork。 Also I always dig the kids books that take the form of a "guide" to being。 。。。more

Reflections and lessons learned:“You’re never alone on earth”Not the accent that I expected！ Possibly even more lovely than the print book - and then the extra voice at the end！！ Ahhhhhhh。。。。！“You will figure lots of things out for yourself - just remember to leave notes for everyone else”

Illustrations were very cute and detailed and the sentiment was good。 But nothing about the words REALLY grabbed my attention。 Kinda silly， focused on being good and kind。

Three words to live by: respect， consideration， and tolerance。Be kind to everyone。 There’s enough to go around。 Charming！

This book is truly funny and fascinating！ As basic as the concepts are， I never thought of Earth this way。 Simple but meaningful life lessons。

Poetico nella sua semplicità。 Offre spunti per trattare diversi temi，sociali e ambientali，con i più piccoli。

I really enjoyed this story。 It explores the world we live in and how we should look after it。 There is also a good message that there are always people around you to help。 A fantastic story with lots of links to other areas。 You could do lots of literacy tasks on this story plus a Venn diagram and compare it with the way back home。 Links to science topics。

Prachtige boek！ Het begint met een korte geschiedenis van onze planeet en onze plaats daarop。Het is een andere manier om het geheel dat ons omringt， vanuit verschillende perspectieven， op een speelse en bijzondere manier te idealiseren en te analyseren。Maar vooral， probeert het de fundamentele vraag te beantwoorden:Hoe je de weg terugvindt als je verdwaald bent？
