HTML:<p>"<i>All Around Us</i> begs to be shared over and over."—<b>Yuyi Morales</b><br /> "A transcendent, perfectly gorgeous book."—<b>Naomi Shihab Nye</b><br /> <b>ALSC Notable Children's Book<br /></b></p> <p><b>2018 Pura Belpré Illustrator Honor Book<br /> 2018 American Indian Youth Literature Award: Picture Book Honor<br /> Best Picture Book, Texas Institute of Letters<br /> 2017 Tomás Rivera Children's Book Award</b></p> <p>Grandpa says circles are all around us. He points to the rainbow that rises high in the sky after a thundercloud has come. "Can you see? That's only half of the circle. That rest of it is down below, in the earth." He and his granddaughter meditate on gardens and seeds, on circles seen and unseen, inside and outside us, on where our bodies come from and where they return to. They share and create family traditions in this stunning exploration of the cycles of life and nature.</p> <p>This is a debut picture book for Xelena Gonzalez and Adriana Garcia.</p>|<i>All Around Us</i> 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. <b>Yuyi Morales</b><br /> <i>All Around Us</i> is a quiet, beautiful story, and is highly recommended. <b>De Colores</b><br /> The author's direct approach and light touch soften the otherwise weighty subject matter. ... Life-affirming in its quiet splendor. <b>Kirkus Reviews</b><br /> <i>All Around Us</i>is all about connections, graced by ethereal images—the perfect children's book for this season of celebrating endings and new beginnings. <b>Lone Star Literary Life</b><br /> A girl and her grandfather contemplate circles, both physical and metaphorical, in this thought-provoking tale of family, community, and interconnection. <b>Publishers Weekly</b><br /> It's gorgeous, quite frankly. <b>Elizabeth Bird, School Library Journal</b>.
