The illustrations are sweeping and captivating. The words are simple and deep. When I read it, I want to live bigger and brighter, and scale back to more meaningful simplicity.
My kids get wide-eyed with the emotion of the full-spread illustrations.
Although there aren't any named characters and the text isn't a plot as much as it is a poem, I appreciate a book like this that can capture my children's attention and give them some context for more abstract concepts like love, nature, stillness, togetherness, beauty, and the interwoven-ness of humanity.
