Meanwhile Back on Earth...: Finding Our Place Through Time and Space

Oliver Jeffers
(Juvenile Picture Books – Ej Jef)


A family car trip becomes a fantastic voyage through time and space! Humanity’s never-ending conflict over territory is compared to siblings fighting for space in the backseat, and Earth’s mind-bending distance from other planets makes an hour’s ride in the car seem tiny. Readers will gain a new perspective on home after reading this philosophical picture book. Recommended for ages 7–9.
