The World from Here
The World from Here
This beautiful picture book invites children to be open to the wonder in our natural world.
Do you ever look for shapes in the clouds?
Milo lies in the grass watching cottony cumulus clouds transform into animals. Maya looks out a plane window and marvels at the sky outside and the shapes countries make below. Through their different perspectives, Milo and Maya remind us that there are countless ways to experience the world.
The World from Here explores the fascinating areas of nephology (the study of clouds), meteorology and geography. These sciences help us understand our world and the wonders that make living here on Earth so rewarding.
Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 5 to 9.
