“In this beautiful picture book, readers are shown the remarkable diversity of nature
and are encouraged to connect with it through the metaphor of home.

Kate is a likable character whose curiosity and openness to the world around her
turn an ordinary walk in the woods into an adventure. Simple text that emphasizes
dialogue underscores the story’s message about connection, while the beautiful
artwork uses earthy tones to invoke the spirit of the forest.

Kate the Earthling invites readers to see the environment in which they live through
new eyes and to feel at home in the natural world that surrounds them.”
― The Children's Book Review
