Interviews

"It’s gorgeous, quite frankly."—Elizabeth Bird School Library Journal

Editorial Reviews

* "The lovely illustrations and lyrical text combine to evoke peace, calm, and interconnectedness. This celebration of family, ties to the Earth, and the cycle of life is even more glorious in this translation. An intergenerational tale for all picture-book collections." — Booklist, starred review

"All Around Us begs to be shared over and over. The use of lines and strokes conveys energy, spirit, magic. And I love the way it connects us all to the idea that we come from inside, from the earth, from something gentle and primal, and that is where go back to—and we better take care of it" — Caldecott-honor winning artist Yuyi Morales

"A transcendent, perfectly gorgeous book." — Naomi Shihab Nye, award-winning poet, essayist & educator

"This warm, gentle story that celebrates family, culture, community and the connectedness of all things. . . All Around Us is a quiet, beautiful story, and is highly recommended." — Beverly Slapin, De Colores: The Raza Experience in Books for Children

"The author's direct approach and light touch soften the otherwise weighty subject matter. . . Life-affirming in its quiet splendor." — Kirkus Reviews

"A girl and her grandfather contemplate circles, both physical and metaphorical, in this thought-provoking tale of family, community, and interconnection." — Publishers Weekly

"It's gorgeous, quite frankly." — Fuse #8 Production, SLJ
