About this title

Review:

"It's never too early to find your place in the world. This lovely little book with soft pictures telescopes in from the wide world to one neighbourhood, one house and one bed with a child under the blanket - and then back out again." - North Toronto Town Crier

"Fitzgerald's artwork creates a safe and comfortable realm for both the featured child and readers. At first, Earth can be seen from space, contained in a small box. As the book's first half moves toward more familiar environments (the child's street, home and room), the illustrations zoom in. Then when the child's world widens at the end, Fitzgerald keeps the illustrations large, underscoring the idea that with familiarity, the world need not be so intimidating."
-- "Publisher's Weekly, Starred review"
