 Emma is upset. The Earth is a mess and she blames her parents for having ruined our beautiful planet. Emma decides to leave. She decides to move to Mars, building a rocket, and bringing her teddy bear for company. Mars is beautiful, clean and dusty. She can jump high and play with the Mars Rover. However, she misses Earth, the rivers and lakes, her parents, and everything else. When she comes home, she makes a plan of things she can do to help clean up our beautiful planet.

 The book is cute and so are the illustrations. The book teaches environmental awareness and shows children several things they and their parents can do to help.
