Right Where You Are Now
Lisa Montierth, illus. by Ashley Burke. Craigmore Creations (www.craigmorecreations.com), $16.95 (32p) ISBN 978-0-9844422-2-5
In an eye-opening and meditative bedtime book with a distinctive 1960s aesthetic, two children take an imaginative journey around the world and into the past. Montierth alternates between past and present: “Right where you are now, quiet streets twist together. But once.... It was lava that twisted for miles.” Rendered in a bold, Technicolor palette, Burke’s
illustrations invite readers to imagine the possibilities of an
ever-changing world. Ages 2–7. (Sept.)
