Por Todo Nuestro Alrededor

Starred review from February 1, 2020
Preschool-G *Starred Review* This team's Pura Belpr� Honor Book All Around Us (2017) gets a full Spanish translation?a natural choice that brings this work even closer to its true spirit. With melodic language, the meditative text immerses readers in a story about a young girl and her grandfather exploring their natural environment in search of the many circles that can be found within. Circles are used as a motif on all the pages, and even the typography is designed to curve throughout. Garcia's ethereal images will draw children in, with a color palette of celestial blues and earthy browns with hints of luminous yellows serving to emphasize the relationship between nature and people. The lovely illustrations and lyrical text combine to evoke peace, calm, and interconnectedness. This celebration of family, ties to the Earth, and the cycle of life is even more glorious in this translation. An intergenerational tale for all picture-book collections.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
