Praise for The Circles All Around Us
"Written in rhyme and featuring soft pastel illustrations, this
title demonstrates how bringing new people into our lives, even
though it can sometimes be scary or uncomfortable, can happen and
can make our lives better for it." —School Library
Connection
"The overall message is one of inclusion and performing acts of
kindness. A delicate line and soft colors depict a diverse cast of
winsome characters and the dainty details of how they spread
goodwill." —School Library Journal
"How and why a symbol of exclusion can be transformed into just the
opposite . . . the message is worthy." —Kirkus
