All the World

By Liz Garton Scanlon
Illustrated by Marla Frazee
Caldecott Award Winner

This book is so clean, complete, and subtle – I loved it. The illustrations and the text bring to mind family and beckon the reader to look at the beauty that surrounds us. When I read a book like this, I wonder about kids who are surrounded by things not so beautiful in their lives. I wonder what they think and do the images stay with them as something that is possible for them. I hope so. Like any good book, it makes a person think and wonder about possibilities.
