Follow the story of a child from babyhood to parenthood in this moving book about family connections, time, and opposites—a lyrical classic in the making from the acclaimed illustrator of the #1 New York Times bestselling Dragons Love Tacos. Ava’s world is full of opposites: colorful sneakers on a gray sidewalk, thick books made up of thin sheets of paper, and dreams of huge spaces in her small head. Together, these opposites depict a full and impactful life, as Ava moves from girl to student to scientist, from daughter to mother to grandmother. While years pass and some things change, there is even more that is constant in this visually rich, soothing portrait of family connection through the generations. You''ll want to cozy up and read this touching, beautiful book together with the children in your life. And as a celebration of personal and family milestones, it''s a perfect gift for baby showers and graduations.

This joyful and soothing read-aloud, about noticing all the wonderful things around you, is a bedtime gem that''s illustrated in gorgeous cut-paper collages by husband-and-wife team Sophia Haas and New York Times Best Illustrated winner Daniel Salmieri. A walk home from school is an opportunity to observe all the happy details along the way: puffy clouds next to an airplane, the twisty slide next to swinging swings, a backhoe next to a big hole. When you really take the time to observe, there are so many interesting things to see in every moment of every day. What''s next to you? From school to home, afternoon to bedtime, this cheerful book invites children to look closely and with delight at the objects all around them.

Explores the love dragons have for tacos, and the dangers of feeding them them anything with spicy salsa.
