Author and illustrator Sean Michael Thomas’s second children’s book, The Most Special Place on Earth, is the sort of bedtime story that young explorers will adore—and families will read over and over. A stunning, brightly illustrated multicultural picture book that introduces kids to the wonders of the world in a unique way, Thomas gets readers to contemplate all of what the planet has to offer.
Tutti is a little girl with big questions. And when it comes to asking questions, one always seems to lead to another. Take the inquiry she makes to her father about where he thinks the most special place is on earth. At first, he surmises it to be the Taj Mahal in India, but the following night when Tutti asks again, he offers up the Serengeti, and a few days later, pressed for an answer, he surmises that it could be Russia’s Red Square or even Antarctica. So it goes, night after night.
With such flights of fancy, one thing is certain: bedtime just got a whole lot more worldly—and fun. |
