All Around Us

American Indian Youth Literature Award Honor - American Indian Library Association Pura Belpr? Illustrator Award Honor - American Library Association (ALA)This gorgeous picture book -- winner of the Pura Belpr? Illustrator Honor and American Indian Youth Literature Award Picture Book Honor -- celebrates the circles that surround us, in the sky, the earth, our neighborhoods, ourselves... if we just dare to look for them.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. This mind-bending, heart-opening book marked the impressive debut of Xelena Gonz?lez and Adriana M. Garcia as picture-book creators.Binding Type: HardcoverPublisher: Cinco Puntos PressPublished: 10/17/2017ISBN: 9781941026762Pages: 32Weight: 0.70lbsSize: 8.60h x 8.70w x 0.40dAward: Pura Belpre Award - Honor BookReview Citations: Kirkus Reviews Fall Preview 08/15/2017 pg. 42Publishers Weekly 08/21/2017Booklist 11/15/2017 pg. 48Hornbook Guide to Children 01/01/2018 pg. 43 - Recommended, SatisfactoryAccelerated Reader Quiz #/Name: 196417 / All Around UsReading Level: 2.8 / Interest Level: Lower Grade / Point Value: 0.5
