Reviews"All the small moments connect to a larger shared experience, Scanlon's ( A Sock Is a Pocket for Your Toes ) words and Frazee's pictures seem to say... Frazee lets out all the stops... Masterful."-- Shelf Awareness, "Tackling a topic no smaller than the world itself, Scanlon (A Sock Is a Pocket for Your Toes) and Frazee (A Couple of Boys Have the Best Week Ever) invite children to explore a variety of its settings, starting with a beach where a young interracial family plays. Frazee's warm, endearing vignettes...are a joyous counterpart to Scanlon's text. Together they create an empathic, welcoming whole."--Publishers Weekly, STARRED, "There's a wonderful balanced imbalance between the sweeping largeness of the pictures and the spare script of perfectly chosen words." -- The Chicago Tribune, "It's hard to imagine a cozier and more spacious world.

  • Best picture book for kids ever.

    This is the book all adults want to share with a child again and again. As my sister said, "This is so beautiful. I want to live there!" Beautiful drawings of wonderful family reunion scenes in a house near a village by the seashore. Lyrical, rhyming read. No child is ever too old to read it again - from a 67 year old child.
