Illustrated by
Merel Eyckerman.
In this Belgian import, a poetic evocation of the world's diversity describes many human traits and activities and ends with the message that of "seven billion people... / ...not one of them is just like you." Although there is no literal matching of art and text, the amusing, at times surreal illustrations--depicting small figures of all races, shapes, and ages--reward repeat viewings.

PS
A little girl (whose eyes are invariably closed in the ethereal illustrations) tries to find God in her surroundings; she eventually realizes that God can't be found in her dresser drawers but rather through actions in her life and signs from the world. This Austrian import speaks to young children whose initial spiritual inquiries can't necessarily be answered concretely.
