“A thin string loops and winds around the people, animals,
playgrounds, prayers, and gardens of the world, everything
connected in a timeless whole—even scary, ugly things like chicken
pox, bullies, lies, and pollution. In this engaging introduction to
social consciousness and environmental awareness, color and form
are given to the invisible ties that bind the universe together,
from the tiniest of cells and atoms to the vastness of the stars
and planets.”—Foreword Reviews
“One of Bala Kids’s inaugural releases, this waggish picture book
takes its title to heart, emphasizing readers’ connection to an
eclectic roundup of people, objects, and phenomena.”—Publishers
Weekly
“A worthy attempt to make an ineffable concept accessible to a
young audience.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Use this book to spark thoughtful conversations or to prod
children to think about just why they matter.”—St. Louis
Post-Dispatch
“An exploration of our links with everything from blobfish to
galaxies.”—Spirituality & Practice
“Jason Gruhl invokes Dr. Seuss with some light rhyming and brings
up everything that entrances children—tarantulas, slime, comets,
you name it. Ignasi Font’s visually complex and incredibly funny
illustrations (a blobfish that looks like Squidward?) will keep
kids observing even on the hundredth read. The book is destined to
become a dharma classic.”—Tricycle
