So Many Days

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Taeeun Yoo. Empowering statements ("You are braver than you know") and an existential refrain--"Who will you be and where will you go?"--track a child (of indeterminate gender) as he or she, dog in tow, walks through the woods then navigates the wider world. The abstract text, ostensibly parent-to-child pearls of wisdom, may bore young readers, but any age can appreciate the delicate digitally manipulated linocuts.
