When a book also reminds us how to treat what we have, it's even better because it's a win win. That's exactly what Julian has done with his book... he's given us a Win Win."<br>-Whoopie Goldberg <p/>"The first in Julian Lennon's White Feather Flier Adventure trilogy, <b><i>Touch the Earth</i></b> takes readers on a journey in a magical plane that allows them to send clean water to the thirsty, clean oceans of pollution, and 'make the world a better place.'"<br>-<i>New York Magazine</i> <p/>"Lennon's debut picture book, the first in a planned trilogy, asks readers to hop aboard a magical airplane, the White Feather Flier (a name inspired by his father and his own environmental and humanitarian foundation), and go on a "helping adventure" to protect the planet's oceans and water supply. [The illustrations] ... have <b>a sweet-natured directness that may light up younger eyes.</b>"<br>-<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"[<i><b>Touch the Earth</b></i>] is <b>a fun book AND it's an educational one as well</b>.... The book helps teach kids a wonderful lesson for Earth Day and every day beyond."<br>-<i>Peanut Butter and Whine</i> <p/>"The artwork is <b>beautiful</b>... It really is stunning."<br>-<i>TODAY</i> <p/>"<b>I was immediately impressed with the interactive nature of the book.</b> Although not all books lend themselves to this style, books that include elements of interactivity help resonate with kids more so when there's a lesson to be learned. Some books ask questions of kids, and <b>some books, like this one, encourage kids to touch the picture, lean into the story, and really feel like they're in the book.</b>"<br>-<i>Motherhood Moment</i> <p/>"<b>A very timely book</b>.... A children's book, if done well, and this one is, lives on and on."<br>-Al Roker <p/>"<b>A passion project that comes from the heart</b>, this stunningly illustrated book is inspired by the white feather he was given by his father when he was young."<br>-<i>Mom and More</i> <p/>***** <p/><i>Praise for Skyhorse Publihsing</i> <p/>"My first series became a <i>New York Times</i> bestselling children's series, and that would have never happened without Skyhorse. . . . <b>It's a great feeling, having them at my side.</b>"<br>-Mark Cheverton, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling childrens author <p/>"I now believe the best word to describe me as an author is spoiled. That's because the folks at Sky Pony have <b>truly made me feel special</b> about being in their stable.
