“Everyone Starts Small” is a poetic celebration of the interconnectedness of nature, and the growth of all things, from seedlings and bugs to large trees and clouds. Even when stressed by climate extremes, plants and animals may retreat or rest, but will grow and flourish again. The illustrations are stunning and colorful, full of movement, patterns, and a sense of scale. This book would make a good starting point for lessons or conversations about ecosystems, climate change, and environmental stewardship. A lovely book for any picture book collection. Recommended for ages 5-7 (Kindergarten to 1st Grade).
