When Dad Showed Me the Universe

32 pp. | Gecko | September, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-1-927271-81-0 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Eva Eriksson. A father announces to his young son that he's old enough to be shown the universe. A sometimes poignant, sometimes humorous journey ensues, with the boy seeing the universe in a snail and a thistle while Dad insists the universe is the stars in the night sky. Homey illustrations of their small Swedish town contrast with more sweeping spreads of the starry night.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano
