Description

The reader follows a boy and his dog on an imaginative and creative journey that encourages you to notice the wonders of the world, both big and small, in a string of parallels and opposites paired together. The man-made pyramids of Egypt that rise toward the sky contrast with the natural Grand Canyon that dives into the earth. Climbing high to fetch a lost balloon contrasts with diving deep to retrieve a dropped coin. How did the coin get there What will you do with it Everywhere, Wonder encourages readers to discover the extraordinary in the ordinary, and then to share their story with others.

Reviews

"Swanson's fanciful and whimsical exploration of the meeting of imagination and story is strengthened by the jewel-toned colors and sheer scope of Behr's illustrations." --Kirkus Reviews

A sweeping exploration of imagination, appreciation, and possibility.--Publishers Weekly

A tribute to the power of imagination awaiting those who are open to the marvels that surround them. School Library Journal

Babies Ruin Everything:

Babies Ruin Everything
speaks to that older brother or sister, telling them, simply: 'I hear you. This is hard' This is a wonderfully empathetic and funny book that doesn't talk down to older siblings and their real struggles having their world turned upside down. I love my little sister, but if I was still three, I'd probably be trying to sell her to you. --Kate Beaton, author and illustrator of The Princess and the Pony, and the #1 New York Times bestseller Hark! A Vagrant

The Real McCoys:

This clever, funny, delightful book is just what this crazy world needs. The surprising and inventive interaction between text and illustration shows that two brains are, indeed, better than one--especially when they belong to Matthew Swanson and Robbi Behr. --Andrea Beaty, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Ada Twist Scientist
