Author: Margaret H. Mason Illustrator: Holly Welch
Retail Price: Paperback • $8.95 | Hardback • $16.95 Sometimes the universe seems so big, so scary. All over the world, children want the same thing – the comfort of knowing that they belong, that they are part of something meaningful. Inside All takes the reader on a nesting doll-like journey, from the outer edges of the universe into the heart of a warm, sleepy child at bedtime, showing how we each have our place inside the All, and the All has its place inside each of us. |
- Mom’s Choice Award (Silver: Bedtime Stories)
“Mason and Welch present a story that folds in on itself and then out. Swirling colors and abstract spirals telescope from the universe, to the galaxy, to a valley and a village, to a home, a child’s bedroom, the child snuggled beneath a quilt, to the child’s own heart. . . . With richly colored mixed-media swirls that resolve into hills and trees, windows and bedrooms, each opening displays double-page, full-bleed pictures with a single white star superimposed throughout. The last line of each three-line text curves to echo the spiral motif. The images tend toward the abstract but are recognizable, creating a very gentle and quite moving bedtime story.”
