Our Air
A lively, enlightening look at the role the air plays in our lives and our world
It’s easy to take the air for granted. Although it’s always around us, we don’t often give it much thought. We can’t see, smell, or hear it, but we can certainly feel it move—and that breeze you feel on a windy day is part of a larger air current circling our planet and bringing us all kinds of weather. Our air gives us life, and it makes up the atmosphere that protects us. And because everyone here on Earth shares it, it’s important to take care of our air.
With striking art and an expressive text, G. Brian Karas brings our air into focus and will give readers a new appreciation for this precious substance.

This may be a biased review as Karas is one of my absolute favorite children's book illustrators.
Here he explores the world around us, and in particular, the air that we breathe.
It's a lovely reminder to take care of our planet and keep our air breathable.

A simple and low text explanation of air, and what it does, how it moves and the science behind what it's made of. A nod to climate change as well. Perfect for classrooms
