Although it is not fair to judge a book by its cover, I couldn't resist the temptation to read Journey To A New Earth when I saw a panda and a koala holding hands together and smiling at me on the cover. Neither could my youngest, who loves everything about animals. Read on to learn more about this lovely picture book by Zeiny Sher and enter to win a signed copy.

My Review:
Journey To A New Earth is a pleasant, calming read that impresses me with its fantastic artwork, adorable characters, and inspiring messages. The story starts with Penelope Panda, who lives happily in a wonderful world, the kind that you would expect in a fairy tale. She somehow runs into a crying baby koala called Kobi, who gets separated from her friends because of a disastrous wildfire. Determined to help Kobi find her friends, Penelope takes Kobi on a search mission and tries all she can to comfort the baby koala along the way. With the help of a magic tree, Penelope Panda and Kobi Koala discover an enchanting new Earth with nice surprises awaiting them.
The book stands out with its beautiful, brightly colored illustrations. All the animal characters are super cute and lively, full of facial expression and action. They are very appealing to young readers, who can easily tell from the pictures how the characters are feeling and what they are doing.
The story delivers very positive messages and gives a strong feel of peace and hope. It teaches about kindness, love and respect for nature, ecological balance and universal connection among all the beings on Earth. I wish the book could elaborate a bit more on what actions could be taken to make a realistic transition to the new Earth that we would all love to live on. Magic doesn't really work after all when it comes to environmental protection. My preschooler truly enjoyed reading this book with me and asked it to be read again. But he did get a bit confused by the ending and couldn't fully comprehend the messages without my help. I guess older kids may do better in that regard.
