My Review

My Rating: 5 Stars
Consider “liking” my review on Goodreads.

I was granted complimentary review access to Journey to a New Earth as part of my participation in the blog tour for this title through iRead Book Tours. Thank you to all involved in affording me this opportunity! My thoughts are my own and my review is honest.

Journey to a New Earth is the story of Penelope Panda and Kobi Koala, two juvenile animals who meet after Kobi has been displaced from her home and family by Australia’s wildfires, and how they become good friends as they walk and talk. Along the way they meet a wise tree who encourages them to take care of this blessed new Earth and tells them that all the animals here are special and that they should love and care for one another.

This is a beautiful story about friendship, love, custodial responsibility for the environment, moving on from difficult times and loss, and possibly (if the adults involved in reading this book choose to interpret it that way) the afterlife. This can definitely be left as just a cute book with kind morals, or it could be used to ease fears about death in religious families. I don’t know for sure if that was the author’s intent, but that’s how it came across to me. The potential to use or ignore that metaphor is there.

The illustrations in this book are gorgeous, and I know my daughter is going to want to look at these pages over and over again just to fawn over the adorable animals! I think the book is laid out quite well, too, with just the right amount of text per page to hold the interest of kids age 2-3 and up, and with the text blocks appropriately placed on plain, light backgrounds for easy reading. You’d be surprised how many times I don’t get to say that and actually critique such things with kids books, so I was very glad to see such well planned page layouts in this one.

I would recommend this book to basically all parents, caregivers, and teachers, and I’ll be sure to mention it to my elementary school teacher mother and sister.
