Review Quotes
"Reminds young people that our world is so much wider than it might appear and invites them to explore these far-flung areas--not as tourists but as members of a global community.... A brilliant, uplifting, and world-embracing tale to unite us in divisive times."
-- Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW
A "visually lush, expansive meditation on simultaneity and shared existence....For those beginning to sense that there's a vast world beyond their own doorstep, this philosophical work affirms how lives occur contemporaneously, 'together, right now.'"
-- Publishers Weekly
"Thought-provoking... encourages young readers to broaden their perspectives.... A meditative, inspiring musing about being part of a global community."
