All around us

All around us

Xelena Gonzalez

eAudio - 2018

Grandpa says circles are all around us. He points to the rainbow that rises high in the sky after a thundercloud has come. Can you see? That's only half of the circle. That rest of it is down below, in the earth. He and his granddaughter meditate on gardens and seeds, on circles seen and unseen, inside and outside us, on where our bodies come from and where they return. They share and create family traditions in this stunning video adaptation of the Pura Belpre award-winning exploration of the cycles of life and nature.

Review by School Library Journal Review

PreS-Gr 1-Breathtaking use of light illuminates this picture book about a young girl and her grandfather, written by Xelena González and illustrated by Adriana M. Garcia. As they take in the gardens and the world around them, they see the circles that life travels in. Striking animated colors and a deeply moving score make this adaptation of the Pura Belpré award-winning story a must-see. An informative author's note on her family's culture and customs adds important background to the story. González narrates beautifully, adding depth and emotion to the tale. © Copyright 2019.
