When the Earth Shook
by Lisa Lucas (Author) and Laurie Stein (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Alya and Atik are stars. Their job is to twinkle in the night sky over Earth, and for billions of years they do it well. But when humans invent powerplants, factories, and cars, and smog pours into Earth’s atmosphere. It becomes harder and harder for Alya and Atik to do their jobs–until, finally, the stars yell at Earth. The Earth feels sick and begins to shake. Things look pretty dire until a little girl named Axiom tells humans what they must do to make the Earth feel better.
