Can empty space be useful? Can it lead to new perspectives and new appreciation? Might it even be inspiring? Find out in a winsome book that draws on a child's everyday experiences to prompt readers to look twice at their surroundings and notice the significance of sights, sounds, and spaces otherwise taken for granted.

Review Quotes

★ "Readers will be enticed to keep revisiting the book.... Masterful page breaks create anticipation to see what is coming in the next spread, the first part of a truncated sentence often begging readers to turn the page to explore its resolution. The simplicity of Nichols' illustrations are reminiscent of Christian Robinson's and, with a diverse cast of characters--including both characters of color and disabled characters--evoke joy, communicate movement, life, and complex concepts. Beautifully brilliant in its simplicity." --Kirkus, STARRED review --
