All the World
Liz Garton Scanlon, Illustrated by Marla Frazee
This lyrical picture book follows a family through the rhythm of an ordinary day—from breakfast and garden play to a beach picnic and bedtime. With poetic text and richly detailed illustrations, it celebrates the beauty in everyday moments and the quiet connections that unite us all.
Why It’s Included
This book reflects our values of presence, mindfulness, and appreciating the natural flow of family life. It invites children to see themselves as part of something larger—family, community, and the earth—and models emotional warmth, care, and connection in the smallest of acts.
Who It’s For
Perfect for children aged 3 to 8. This is a calming bedtime book, a gentle introduction to poetic language, or a lovely classroom read-aloud. It has wide appeal across ages and beautifully illustrates the essence of belonging.
