"All the World", by Liz Garton Scanlon and Marla Frazee has just arrived in our library and, wow, is it a book that will take your breath away. Large, expansive, emotional, simple, and award-winningly illustrated; it's just the kind of book that you want to read each night. In many ways it reminds me of a guided imagery exercise, one that would help you relax and center yourself. No plot or characters, but sometimes a book doesn't need those things to be exceptional. I love it.
