Synopsis:

This lyrical ode to humanity celebrates people all around the world as they do the same things in different ways, from morning to night: as we're carried first, then toddle, then walk; as we learn to read and explore new worlds; as we wish or dream, laugh or cry, or even wonder why. This universal picture book is as profound as it is simple. A beautiful sentiment to share at story time or bedtime, this book will touch children and adults alike.

About the Author: Amy Gibson is the author of three picture books: Around the World on Eighty Legs―a collection of animal poems; Split! Splat!―a young, rhythmic picture book; and Catching Kisses, a lyrical picture book about blowing and catching kisses. She wrote By Day, By Night after seeing a documentary about children orphaned by AIDS in Africa; she sees it as "a book about the children of the world for the children of the world." She was an elementary school teacher before she became a writer. She lives with her husband and three children in Los Gatos, California. amygibson.com.
