Take a quiet moment, find a place you love, and spend some time reading All the Places to Love. The painting by Mike Wimmer are beautiful and certainly remind you of somewhere you have been, especially if you grew up in farm country! This quiet, simple book makes me rest, calm down, and appreciate my family and the midwest heritage every single time I read her words.
"All the places to love are here, I'll tell her, no matter where you may live." Her appreciation of the small things in nature in this picture book remind me of the love Sarah had for the ocean waves and then for the waves of wheat in the Plain and Tall books. All the Places is a book to touch the heart, as so many of PM's books do. That's what great writing always does! Erlene
