This is a beautiful little board book that is colorful and just pleasant to read aloud. I loved reading it to my babe.

Lovely story that made me just want to hug all my family. A book I can see myself reading to my children (someday). Amazing illustrations.

I love this book way more than my kid does. Beautiful art and a balm for this godawful year.

One of the things I have always thought was odd about hard-line Waldorf School philosophy - and before you email me, let it be known that I have one marvelous little cousin and one fantastic grown-up niece who are Waldorf products, and I have no problem at all giving the Waldorfers some of the credit for how beautifully they have turned out so far - but as I said, one of the odder dicta of Waldorf founder Rudolf Steiner, and he had a LOT of dicta, guy was just Mr. Ruley Rulemonger, and some schools are all like, "Yes SIR Mr. Steiner sir - we'll build our classrooms with NO CORNERS," and some schools, like my cousin's school in Hawaii, are all kind of like, "Oh yeah, but knitting? Oh, brah, it's hot here like, we don't really need knitwear. How about we teach em all how to juggle?" and that works for them.
But one of the Waldorf things is that there should be no shadows in a child's early life. And hence, there is no black crayon in the crayon box at a Waldorf school.

This keeps growing on me. I have reread it a few times already.

I loved the pencil-plus-watercolor combo used in the illustrations for All the World. They reminded me of older picture books, giving the book a kind of retro feel. The poetry in this book is clever but would be very accessible for young children, a combo that I think is tough to find in picture books.
