Poems to Our Planet | Author Visit with Joyce Sidman
April 21, 2022 @ 9:30 am – 10:15 am PDT
What would you ask the Earth if you could?
During this virtual author visit, Joyce Sidman will read from her new book, HELLO, EARTH!, share about her writing process, and motivate students to wonder and explore the world around them!
About the Book
We walk on Earth’s surface every day, but how often do we wonder about the incredible planet around us? From the molten cracks below to the shimmering moon above, Hello, Earth! explores the complex wonders of our natural world. This playful poetic journey across our puzzle-piece continents does not hesitate to ask questions—even of the Earth itself!
