Reviews
Kirkus ★
“At once a lullaby and an invigorating love song to nature, families, and interconnectedness.”
Horn Book ★
“All the World will win audiences with a sensibility both timeless and thoroughly modern.”
Bulletin
“... a moving and accessible celebration of the poetry of ordinary human life.”
The News Tribune
“A picture book about "all the world" is an ambitious task, but Scanlon and Frazee pull it off with brilliant simplicity... Don't miss this one.”
Kid's Indie Next List
“This is a beautiful book for every home, a perfect gift for a young child.”
School Library Journal ★
“Perfection.”
Los Angeles Times
“My pick as best picture book of the year, All the World, could easily replace the traditional holiday greeting card as a perfect expression of peace and goodwill. Liz Garton Scanlon's lilting rhymes about a family's activities in a single day, combined with Marla Frazee's by turns intimate and expansive paintings, convey a sense of contentment, simplicity and completeness.”
