One winner

This week the winners for a myriad of awards in Children's Literature were announced. I was delighted to see that one of my favorites was given a Caldecott Honor Medal. Now there are twice as many reasons to read All the World.

All the World by Liz Garton Scanlon
I love, love, love this book. The text is soothing to read. I keep reading it. The illustrations by Marla Frazee so beautifully match the text that they seem to be one and the same – I read the words and see the pictures; I see the pictures and hear the words:

Rock, stone, pebble, sand
Body, shoulder, arm, hand
A moat to dig, a shell to keep
All the world is wide and deep

Treat yourself to a delicious delight of a book – read All the World to someone you love, or enjoy it alone.

All ages
