You’re Aboard Spaceship Earth

The book YOU’RE ABROAD SPACESHIP EARTH by Patricia Lauber is a nonfiction picture book for children ages 4 to 8. It introduces the reader to the Earth as a self-sustaining spaceship, and explains how we can all work together to protect it.

The book begins by explaining that the Earth is a spaceship because it has everything we need to survive, including air, water, food, and shelter. It also explains that the Earth is a closed system, which means that nothing goes in or out. This means that we need to be careful about how we use the Earth’s resources.

The book goes on to explain how we can all work together to protect the Earth. It discusses topics such as recycling, composting, and reducing our energy consumption. It also encourages children to learn more about the Earth and to share what they know with others.

YOU’RE ABROAD SPACESHIP EARTH is a great way to introduce young children to the importance of environmental stewardship. It is also a good resource for parents and teachers who are looking for ways to teach children about the Earth and how to protect it.

Here is a short quote from the book:

We are all passengers on Spaceship Earth. We have no other place to go.”
