World So Wide by is a book that will make any parent tear up as they are experiencing the baby years or reminiscing about them. The book begins with a newborn baby and every few pages it poses questions about how they baby will experience the world through his\/her senses. What will the baby see, hear, smell and touch. The story continues to unfold as the baby becomes an adult with his own child. The most beautiful part is each of the experiences revolve around making loving connections. I read this book with my six year old and as we read I told him stories about him as a newborn and what types of things he experienced when he was so little. He\u2019s the oldest of three and he misses that special one-on-one time. Reading this book together, just the two of us, was such an amazing moment of connection. The smile didn\u2019t leave his face and the hugs just kept coming. That\u2019s the beauty of books that are as gorgeous as this one, they can serve as connections, reminders and shared experiences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Praise for&nbsp;<em>World So Wide<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2605\u201cWhile it will certainly touch new parents, Pulitzer honoree McGhee\u2019s text and Alizadeh\u2019s tender pictures will delight readers of all ages.\u201d \u2014<em>Booklist<\/em> (starred review)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBreezy illustrations are pleasingly attuned to the author\u2019s spontaneous verse as both reveal the marvel\u2014and regeneration\u2014of human life.\u201d&nbsp;\u2014<em>Publishers Weekly<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSmudgily outlined illustrations bring a soft but bright energy to the author\u2019s tender text.
