Pequeñas motas de polvo existiendo por un momento. Arrojados a través del espacio y el tiempo, tan solo para brillar por unos momentos. Estos momentos son todo lo que tenemos en esta vida. Trabajamos, reímos, lloramos, hacemos el amor, escribimos libros, construimos imperios, creamos guerras. A menudo tratamos de ignorar el hecho de que estos momentos son temporales.

Todo va a desaparecer en algún punto junto a todo lo demás. Inspired by the birth of his son, Oliver Jeffers was moved to create this picture book, subtitled ‘Notes for Living on Planet Earth’.

He concludes that there is much for us still to do and understand and emphasises the importance of respect for others and, most of all, kindness.
