A brief and pretty picture book that I'll use with my playtime group of early childhood kiddos, mostly ages 1-3.

Bright bold illustrations and a slim text claim a child is "a small part of it all."

Beautiful, meditative book about a child's connection to nature. Bright colors are sure to catch the reader's eye.

This is a beautifully illustrated children's picture book that is about a little girl and how she is a part of the world around her. It is peaceful and relaxing to read and would make a great bedtime story for your toddler or preschooler. I love the simple message, that we too are a part of our bigger world.

Thank you to NetGalley and Candlewick Press for this advanced copy, my opinions are my own.

A very simple story with few words, good for younger children. The appealing, large, collage-like illustrations and sparse prose makes it a thoughtful choice for a quieting book in a storytime or bedtime setting.

A great book full of simple and vibrant illustrations that will capture young readers' attention and the poetic language would make such a fun read aloud! I think this is definitely a book you could read over and over and is a great celebration to being YOU and finding your place in the world.

This is, I'm sure, a very nice picture book, but there is no story there. The illustratons though are fun to look and and nicely done.

The story follows a girl declaring that she is part of the world and the world is part of her.

The whole wide world

And perhaps that is the only thing we need to know.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
