The Earth Is My Mother

When I first looked at this book, I rolled my eyes. The Earth is My Mother? But when I opened the book, and I began to read, something made me want to cry, and make a difference. I understand Sarah's love for nature, and the inspiring tale of her makes me want to stand up and save the world. The way all her snapshots oddly made one picture of a mother, HER mother, OUR Mother, it just made me so happy. This book looked so..well..stupid, and right now, I can hardly believe my previous thoughts about it. I practically hugged this book. The next day, when I almost littered, I stopped myself, because I remembered this book. A life changing tale about a girl who makes a difference...all for her dead mother, and though she didn't know it, for herself...to protect Magic Canyon.Another "earth" book I love for the illustrations is:Dear Children of the Earth.I also love a novel about how hope can work miracles, that is an all-time FAVORITE of mine:The Secret Garden

The book arrived in great condition. Can’t wait to share with younger family member who love stories and art. A bonus was a small poster in the back of the book. Thank you!

I just completed a 700 piece puzzle of ‘The Earth Is My Mother’ and had no idea there was also a book! Love everything about this.

A story that leaves you wondering what really happened. Great one for my young niece who had just traveled in the Southwest. Bev Doolittle's paintings have been a long time favorite of mine. These are wonderful and with an make the wonder of the story come to life in a surprise twist. Don't peek at the end painting. It's more powerful at the end of the story.

Like this book a lot. I mostly like the picture that is in the back. She makes me smile and I wish I had the nerveto tear it out and frame it. If I did that, it would hurt the book. That isn't going to happen.

2nd one i’ve given to Granddaughters.One of them was inspired to go into photography!

I love Bev Doolittle's art! I don't believe that she gets the recognition she deserves out there in the art world. The lady who collaborates with her to write the stories to accentuate Doolittle's art needs to be canned.

I'm always amazed and awed by the talent of Bev Doolittle. an American treasure.

A splendid story with great illustrations,

brilliant than you

Absolutely amazing story of one young girls quest to save Magic canyon she loves and shared with her Mother.I bought and put together the 1000 piece puzzle of the journey she took and photos she took and I then framed it.I had to read her story and loved it....
