-“A sweet and tender distillation of what every Earthling needs to know and might well spend a lifetime striving to achieve. A must-purchase for new parent shelves.” —School Library Journal

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

-“…a beautifully illustrated guide to living on Earth and being a good person.” —Brightly

-“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

-[Here We Are] is a tour through the land, the sea, the sky, our bodies; dioramas of our wild diversity….[Jeffers] is the master of capturing the joy in our differences.”–New York Times Book Review
