Reviews

"Each richly hued full-page spread celebrates the joys and delights of the world. The simple poetic text is often enhanced by its visual layout. The connection the poet feels between the small flower and the concluding expanse of the sky at book's end should inspire children to see how they can interact with their surroundings and create their own poetry to express the beauty of the universe and their place within it." -- Booklist (starred review)

"Walker shares a vision of oneness with the world in this evocative picture book filled with centering imagery. Walker's rich poetic conceit juxtaposes with Monyei's spare aesthetic; working in concert, text and image build to a conclusion that neatly invites the reader to feel connected by embracing the experiential." -- Publishers Weekly
