Book Synopsis


Trade Review
“Powerful.... Playful and inspiring. Every lover of books, young or old, will see themselves in this story.” — Booklist (starred review) “Poetic lines sing libraries’ praises in this brief tribute from Giovanni... Chromatic digital renderings by Robinson accompany the text, layering geometric shards of color and light.” — Publishers Weekly “Vibrant, carefully composed digital illustrations, with bright colors that invite readers in.... A lushly illustrated homage to librarians.” — Kirkus Reviews “In this picture-book celebration of libraries and reading, poet Giovanni writes about the Carnegie Library, which she regularly visited as a child. Robinson’s digital art resembles vibrant collages.” — Horn Book Magazine “Poetic text and evocative, textured illustrations work in concert to show how books and libraries enable people to imagine other lives—including other versions of their own selves.... A must-have.” — School Library Journal
