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. Plants
stretch towards them. Animals look up at them. And, eventually,
humans gaze up at them and marvel. But then 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 and Earth feels
sick and begins to shake and things look pretty dire. The clueless
king's response is to command Earth to stop shaking. But a little
girl named Axiom tells the king to hush then tells humans what they
must do to make the Earth feel better. When the Earth Shook
provides a mythical framing for kids to understand that it will be
their job to help save the Earth. Bravo, Axiom! Keep using that
huge megaphone until the earth no longer shakes! Axiom's list of
instructions to humans; some well-known and others new but
critically important appears in the back of the book.
