April Pulley Sayre brings all of the reasons that our earth is special together in a beautiful book of photography entitled Thank You, Earth: A Love Letter to our Planet.
Told through simple photography and a limited number of words, Sayre writes an ode to earth – to the big and the small, the good and the bad, the animals and colors that constantly amaze us.
The photographs are absolutely breathtaking. Sayre goes into amazing detail in some of the photographs and captures all of the things that we should remember to be thankful for on Earth Day and every day.
Sayre also writes an important note at the end that it isn’t enough to just say thank you, we need to show our appreciation by doing something to help care and preserve our earth. She gives many examples of how people with a variety of strengths can use those skills to make a difference.
April Pulley Sayre, award-winning photographer and acclaimed author of more than sixty-five books, introduces concepts of science, nature, and language arts through stunning photographs and a poetic text structured as a simple thank-you note.
