Take a cosmic view of the history of conflict on planet Earth with the author's new book inspired by the Our Place in Space project.
Meanwhile Back on Earth, a new book from Oliver Jeffers and inspired by Our Place in Space, has been released.
The author's eighteenth book, this story tells the journey of a father who takes his two children on a thrilling out-of-this-world adventure into space as they look back at Earth and conflicts that have taken place since the beginning of time.
Meanwhile Back on Earth gives a unique look at life on Earth with a cosmic perspective — and an enduring message that what binds us together matters more than what sets us apart.

He has been the recipient of numerous awards, including a New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Books Award, Bologna Rigazzi Award, An Irish Book Award, and a United Kingdom Literary Association Award.
"An optimistic snapshot of contemporary life, this heartfelt hug of a book ought to become a classic."
