Children's Fiction: Destroying a planet then moving to Earth

I read this book back in elementary school (2008 ish), and I remember it having simple 2D illustration work, but not irrational as far as proportions go (so not super cartoony). It was fairly colourful though.

The general plot line is told from the perspective of a little boy whose father is the mayor (or some similar leadership figure). Essentially this community is living on a planet comfortably, but they are not taking very good care of it. So when the planet starts deteriorating, the community puts everyone on a rocket to move to a different planet (presumably earth) and at the end the little boy is looking at the the planet he grew up on and sees how red it has become.

I don't remember the author or illustrator or title, obviously, but I do not think I missed much as far as the plot goes. It was definitely a picture book, so fairly short story anyway.

Any help finding it would be appreciated! Thank you!
