I live here. But I am not the first… When a child finds clues that others have lived in her house before her, she begins to wonder about them, and about those who will come after her.

Overwhelmed by the mess that humans have left behind, in the end she realizes that there is only one thing to do: start where she is. In spare and simple words, Here: The Dot We Call Home helps children begin to think of themselves as both descendants and ancestors, and to comprehend that people of every place and time share one home, and the task of looking after it.
