You are here, and from here there are so many places you can go. But how will you know how to get there In this warm and wise debut, Zach Manbeck gives readers a poetic roadmap to help us find our way in the world, while also reminding us all that right now, we arehere exactly where we are meant to be.
Both sweet and uplifting, this is a perfect book for a new baby, a new graduate, or anyone who could use a reminder that 'all who wander are not lost'.
"[You Are Here] is an optimist's guide to letting children be children; for story hours or as an afternoon anthem for acting out and therefore shaking out the sillies, it's sure to become a favorite." -School Library Journal
"Manbeck offers direction for life's journeys in his children's book debut. . . . The whimsical illustrations, rendered in gouache and mixed media with digital editing, show sprightly children and their childlike anthropomorphic animal companions romping on giant fantastical play structures that recall Rube Goldberg machines. . . . An uplifting ode to the power of taking small steps to make big changes."-Kirkus Reviews
