If You Come To Earth, from two-time Caldecott Medal winning author/illustrator Sophie Blackall, is the fifth and final book up for consideration in our OPS Picture Book Awards. Inspired by the children Sophie has met all over the world during her travels in support of UNICEF and Save the Children, If You Come To Earth is an alien's guide to Earth as seen from the eyes of a child. With lush illustrations and whimsical text, Ms. Blackall creates an amusing and heartfelt story that reminds the reader of the importance of caring for the earth and it inhabitants. In the video below, Sophie describes the various experiences that inspired this book.
If You Come To Earth is one of the five picture books our OPS students will be reading, analyzing, and considering for three OPS Picture Book Awards: Best Message, Best Illustrations, and Best Overall Picture Book.
