When The Earth Shook – A Children’s Hardcover Book

$23.95

Lisa Lucas, illustration by Laurie Stein

Ages 5-9

Alya and Atik are stars. Their job is to twinkle in the night sky over
Earth, and for billions of years they do it well. Plants stretch toward
them. Animals look up at them. And, eventually, humans gaze up at
them and marvel. But then humans invent powerplants, factories,
and cars, and smog pours into Earth’s atmosphere. It becomes
harder and harder for Alya and Atik to do their jobs—until, finally,
the stars yell at Earth, and Earth feels sick and begins to shake, and
things look pretty dire. The clueless king’s response is to command
Earth to stop shaking. But a little girl named Axiom tells the king
to hush, then tells humans what they must do to make the Earth
feel better. When the Earth Shook provides a mythical framing for
kids to understand that it will be their job to help save the Earth.
Bravo, Axiom! Keep using that huge megaphone until the earth
no longer shakes! Axiom’s list of instructions to humans—some
wellknown and others new but critically important—appears in
the back of the book
