Product Information

A celebration of people all shapes and sizes, and of the beauty and mystery of our Earth.-- Booklist

Ir vėl, kaip ir "Motinų sekmadienis", toks be galo lengvas, greit perskaitomas (poilsinis) pasakojimas, niekaip nekomplikuotas, neperkrautas refleksijomis, sudėtingomis sąsajomis, žiauriomis scenomis, etinėmis kolizijomis ir jokiais panašiais dalykais. Ir nepaisant to, geras. Toks kaip geras greitas meistriškas eskizas, kur atrodo nieko nėra ypatingo, bet kažkas neįvardijamo pagauta, ir labai gražu. From the skies to the animal kingdom to the people of the world and lots of other beautifully rendered examples of life on Earth, Here We Arecarries a simple message: Be kind.”— NPR Our solar system is one of millions, billions, trillions. Can you write these numbers using digits? Perskaičius jau antrąją Swift knygą "Regimybės" tik dar kartą įsitikinau, koks jis nuostabus. Šįkart pasakojimas nukelia į pramogų pasaulį. Galime sekti trijų artistų gyvenimą, kurie susitinka ir sukuria žiūrovus užburiančia programą. Vienas jų yra išskirtinai charizmatiškas ir puikiu humoro jausmu apdovanotas vedėjas, kitas itin gabus iliuzionistas, na ir paskutinė vyšnaitė ant torto - Eva, iliuzionisto padėjėja. Jeigu jūs jau užuodžiate meilės trikampio kvapą, tai jūsų uoslė jus veda teisingai.

Get to know us

Phil Davis’ narration of the audiobook is very good. He speaks slowly. This gives readers time to think through what is said. Every word is clearly spoken. He sings the songs that are in the book; he doesn’t just read their words. He sings well. This increases one’s enjoyment. The audio production is good too. At the start and finish we are treated to carnival music—this fits wonderfully the book’s setting and content. Four stars for the narration. The book tells us that ‘there is enough for everyone’. Is everything shared equally between people on the planet? Why?

Celebrated author/artist Oliver Jeffers, inspired by the birth of his son, presents a picture-book love letter to our planet in this beautiful new book. "Here we are," the narrator informs us, pointing to our blue globe, as it hangs in space. From the land to the sea, from people to animals, all the wonderful, marvelous kinds of creature and thing that go to make up our planet are detailed. So too are various pieces of advice about living in this world of ours, from cherishing the time we have (there isn't much of it) to being kind to the other residents. In the end, on Earth, you are never alone... And it was strange how in all those shows, all those performances, a whole season's worth, you hardly stopped to think – she never thought about it as she looked at her face in the mirror and placed the tiara, like a regular coronation, in her hair: The sea is right beneath us now. Right beneath us now the waves are swishing and swirling, the fish are darting, the seaweed is swaying this way and that. If the stage were to open up, we'd all go tumbling through to the water.Here We Are is rather short and sweet, filled with many vivid settings from different, transitional, time periods. Graham Swift writes lovely and interesting sentences, but while I thoroughly enjoyed the reading experience, it didn't add up to very much. Still happy to have read it. Something of a user’s guide to being alive and to life on Earth, Jeffers brilliantly uses pen and paintbrush to explore profound and puzzling questions, establishing straight off that the wisdom imparted here is wisdom for us all.”– Chicago Tribune Así que aquí estamos, en ese pálido punto azul. Pequeñas motas de polvo existiendo por un momento. Arrojados a través del espacio y el tiempo, tan solo para brillar por unos momentos. Estos momentos son todo lo que tenemos en esta vida. Trabajamos, reímos, lloramos, hacemos el amor, escribimos libros, construimos imperios, creamos guerras. A menudo tratamos de ignorar el hecho de que estos momentos son temporales. Que todos nuestros imperios y el producto nacional bruto, que nuestro arte y nuestra literatura, que nuestros pantalones de diseñador de trescientos dólares, que todo nuestro conocimiento y tecnología, creatividad y legado será borrado. Todo va a desaparecer en algún punto junto a todo lo demás. Evergrene was Ronnie’s home now. He was happy in it. He was happier than he’d ever been and the Robinsons were happy to have him. Their loving kindness enveloped him. (...) How could you have had one life and then simply exchange it for another?” Turiu kelis rašytojus, kurių noriu perskaityt viską, ką jie parašo! Ir, žinokit, panašu, kad Graham Swift į juos papuola! 😍
