Youngsters get a bird's eye world-view in Earth from
Above for Young Readers, concept and photographs
by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, text by Robert Burleigh,
illus. by David Giraudon, and adapted from their
adult title, Earth from Above: 365 Days. Stunning
full-color photos reveal cotton crops on the Cote
d'Ivoire that look like giant cauliflower from the
air, and New York's Yankee Stadium, where a lone
outfielder dots the center of a seemingly striped
expanse of green. Ages 9-12.
