Mother Earth asks us to share and protect her. She talks of the animals that first inhabited Earth. With the arrival of people, humans and animals coexisted and shared Mother Earth. As humans started to outnumber animals, they forgot about Mother Earth. Humans no longer shared the land, water and sky with the animals. Schimmel's paintings provide students with opportunities to discuss why Mother Earth needs protection.--Ministry of Education website.
