In flowing rhymes with lyrical cadences that connect both words and ideas, All The World is a picture book that shows children the everyday occurrences and notions and how these occurrences are about something much bigger…life. A family goes to the beach, to the market, out to a restaurant and then to an extended family gathering—all of which are observed in way that shows how such activities encompass that of the whole world.
The illustrations are just as significant as the text and reflect the content of the text as well. With incredible detail in illustrations that express the diversity and sensitivity of the world, this work of art is sure to leave young readers in awe.
