Books in Easy-To-Read: Level 2 series

A poetic and lyrical picture book, bursting with colors, about our interdependent world, from cell to self and seed to sky."With bright artwork and a spare, poetic text, this inviting comic for little ones takes on a truly gigantic topic: the interconnectedness of the universe... It’s eye-catching stuff, and the tone of the text is general enough that, if the concept soars over the heads of little ones, they’ll still be able to grasp the overall message, which is warm, encouraging, and hopeful."--Booklist
