All the World

by Liz Garton Scanlon

All the World, tells about a day in the life of a family and shows through pictures and rhyme how valuable one day can be.  As the day progresses you see it includes more family and friends within it.  Through the beautiful illustrations you can see lives beginning to intertwine with one another. The story travels from the beach to the market to the fields, churches, parks, restaurants, and back to the homes.  Everything comes full circle at the end of the story. 

I not only was touched by the beautiful poetry in this book but also by the exquisite illustrations.  Each time I turned a page it reminded me of a time in my life with family and friends.  This book stresses the importance of all the things around us.  It is a great reminder about our important role in the world.
