Good stuff just keeps coming at All the World
and I am full-up with gratitude…
1. Scholastic bought a whole heap of copies for their book fairs and book clubs. Seriously, you guys — Scholastic! My daughters were so impressed; Scholastic is just flat-out famous with the school-age set.
2. We are the focus of this month’s Big Picture Review in The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books. And it is a lovely review that says things like All the World is "… a moving and accessible celebration of the poetry of ordinary human life." Sigh…
3. The amazing and generous folk at Simon & Schuster totally blew my mind this week by debuting a book trailer for All the World! Who knew? It’s pretty swell, too…
4. And unrelated to book news, my Small One seems to have kicked the flu and is back at it. In her big and inimitable way. Seriously thankful for that…
Namaste, my friends. Namaste…
So happy about #4! Now, please, no one else come down with it.
The BCCB review is terrifically well written and perceptive. How beautiful that they saw so much of what you and Marla so lovingly put on the page.
And um, YAYAYAYYAYAY! for the book fair! We’re in it together. Hoo-rah!
I wish we were traveling around with it, sharing a hotel room and staying up all night!!!
The universe is showering you with gifts. 🙂
Namaste!
I know, Melody. Truly.

Liz,
All this “good stuff” coming your way is well deserved. ALL THE WORLD is a truly “special” picture book. The text and art work so perfectly together. It’s the kind of book I could read over and over again.
Re: All the World
Oh, thanks, Elaine.
That would be my wildest dream — people reading it again and again…
