Description

All Around Us begs to be shared again and again. Using lines and strokes conveys energy, spirit, magic. And I love the way it connects us all to the concept we come from inside, from the earth, from something gentle and primal, and that may be where go back to―and we better deal with it.”―Yuyi Morales

“A transcendent, perfectly gorgeous book, as magical as childhood feels in its best times. Wealthy, warm, comforting words and images to hold closely in your mind.”—Naomi Shihab Nye

Grandpa says circles are all around us. He points to the rainbow that rises high in the sky after a thundercloud has come. “Are you able to see? That’s only half of the circle. That rest of it’s down below, in the earth.” He and his granddaughter meditate on gardens and seeds, on circles seen and unseen, outside and inside us, on where our bodies come from and where they return to. They share and create circle of relatives traditions in this stunning exploration of the cycles of life and nature.

This is a debut picture book for Xelena Gonzalez and Adriana Garcia.
