What on Earth Books Spring / Summer 2020 US Children's Catalog

What on Ear th Books Children’s Catalog

SPRING / SUMMER 2020 + Complete backlist

Welcome to the What on Earth Books catalog At What on Earth Books, we believe that seeing the real world from a wide range of perspectives is more important today than ever before.

It is in this spirit that we are proud to present our Spring/Summer 2020 catalog, where all our titles encourage empathy and curiosity.

In Every Second, author-illustrator Bruno Gibert introduces statistics in a fun way, with some mind-blowing numbers about the stuff that happens every single second around the world, and stunning infographics.

We celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day with Planet SOS, Marie G. Rohde's unique approach to tackling the environmental issues that challenge us today—and that will define our future—by personifying them as folkloric monsters. Watch out for the Smogosaurus and Trash Kong!

Amazing Islands is the first in a series of four titles that reveal the richness of our world by exploring 100 amazing places, things, or animals. In Literally, author and linguist Patrick Skipworth celebrates the rich history and cultural diversity of our language, and Nicholas Stevenson brings it vividly and colorfully to life, with evocative and witty illustrations.

And our passion for telling giant stories through timelines continues with Music: A Fold Out Graphic History, produced in association with one of the world’s most famous concert venues, London’s Royal Albert Hall.

We are also delighted to introduce our first board book series – Zoom.

In Space Adventure and Ocean Adventure, clever die-cuts and surprising pop-ups inspire curiosity about the wonders of our natural world.

We also hope our growing backlist will continue to inspire everyone who believes, as we do, that the real world is far more amazing than anything you can make up.

Planet SOS

22 Modern Monsters Threatening Our Environment (and What You Can Do to Defeat Them!)

Written and illustrated by Marie G. Rohde

New Titles

Our planet is sending out an SOS. From global warming to plastic pollution, real-life environmental monsters are threatening our world at every turn. The fearsome Atmosdragon is heating the planet and causing global warming, while the Smogosaurus is filling our air with toxic fumes. We need heroes—could you be one of them?

In all, 22 monsters feature in Planet SOS and each of them is accompanied by a Monster Card outlining the big, bad beasts’ weaknesses. Mythical monsters have always represented humanity’s greatest fears, and the environmental monsters in Planet SOS are no different. Each is paired with the mythological beast it is based on.

Planet SOS is the perfect handbook for any eco-hero who wants to learn about our global environmental crisis. This book includes a gatefold highlighting monsterbeating actions kids can take and a gatefold world map showing where these environmental problems can be found.

Amazing Words and Where They Come From Patrick Skipworth Illustrated by Nicholas Stevenson

New Titles

Did you know that English words come from all over the world and that their meanings have changed along their journey? Our word “zero” comes from the Arabic word for empty space. “Companion” is from the Latin for “with bread”.

With simple descriptions and dazzling, evocative and witty illustrations, this is a fascinating introduction to the rich history and cultural diversity of our language.

Words included: orchestra (Japanese); zero (Arabic); guru (Sanskrit); ukulele (Hawaiian); jaguar (Tupi); royalty (Norman French); companion (Latin); kookaburra (Australian Aboriginal); worm (Old English); mummy (Persian); caribou (Algonquin); safari (Swahili).

Author Patrick Skipworth studied Classics and Linguistics in London and the Netherlands, connecting the dots between ancient cultures, their histories, and their languages. Today, Patrick is a children’s book editor, but he likes to write his own books when he can. Some of his favorite topics are prehistoric bugs, super-intelligent robots, and legends from far away places. Patrick’s favorite word is “mosaic.”

Illustrator Nicholas Stevenson’s personality and past are as colorful as his illustrations. Now living in London, he spent years in the Seychelles “dressing like Peter Pan most days.” Nicholas produces lively, engaging, mysterious and deeply painterly work for the publishing and music industries.

What people are saying about What on Earth Books What on Earth has become known for delivering the facts—on various subjects—in a fun, informative and visually appealing way. I couldn’t be more impressed.

What on Earth Books is one of my favorite small presses.

Pocket Full of Rye

Glass of Wine, Glass of Milk

One of the most uniquely-designed books I’ve ever seen.

A fresh, factual blast with hints of drollery.

Mr Schu Reads on North America

Kirkus Reviews on Nose Knows

This survey of monsters… is both informative and interactive.

Financial Times on Monsters

Its’s their unique ability to be converted into eye-catching six-foot-long laminated posters that really make them stand out from other reference works.
