review:
'Everywhere and All Around' by Pimm van Hest with illustrations by Sassafras De Bruyn is a touching, beautiful book for a child that has lost a parent.

Yolanda's mother has died. Yolanda was with her and held her hand as it grew colder. Now she wants to know where her mom could be. She asks family and friends of her mother, and they each provide their answer to where Yolanda's mother is. Things like "mom is in stories, and in stories is mom" and Mom is Yolanda and Yolanda is Mom."

The book is filled with simply gorgeous illustrations. Every page is two pages wide and the art fills the page. The message would be of comfort to a child who had lost a parent, but might be confusing to one with a still living character. Still, there must be books for times of grieving, and this one is filled with beauty and hope.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Clavis Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
