"My Friend Earth" by Patricia MacLachlan and Francesca Sanna (Chronicle Books)

Here's a truly amazing love letter to our awesome planet in this fab new picture book.

"My Friend Earth" by Patricia MacLachlan and Francesca Sanna is a gloriously illustrated book that will win youngsters over with a mixture of amazing visuals and easy to digest text, highlighting how amazing the planet we live on is, and how we should all do our best to protect and look after it - now more than ever.

Released to coincide with the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day, this is a real treat of a book showing just how our friend Earth does so many wonderful things!

She tends to animals large and small. She pours down summer rain and autumn leaves. She sprinkles whisper-white snow and protects the tiny seeds waiting for spring.

With gorgeous die-cut pages to increase the level of interactivity, it's a real draw for younger children but also great for older kids who love gorgeous illustrations.  

Sum this book up in a sentence: A superb book about our home planet, destined to draw kids into a colourful world of incredible creatures and amazing habitats.
