{"product_id":"small-world-a-picture-book","title":"Small World: A Picture Book","description":"From author Ishta Mercurio and illustrator Jen Corace, the picture book Small World is a beautiful story that “reassures young readers of their place in the world and encourages them to remain full of wonder and curiosity as they grow” (School Library Journal, Starred Review).\n\nWhen Nanda is born, the whole of her world is the circle of her mother’s arms. But as she grows, the world grows too. It expands outward—from her family, to her friends, to the city, to the countryside. And as it expands, so does Nanda’s wonder in the underlying shapes and structures patterning it: cogs and wheels, fractals in snowflakes. Eventually, Nanda’s studies lead her to become an astronaut and see the small, round shape of Earth far away.\n\nA geometric meditation on wonder, Small World is a modern classic that expresses our big and small place in the vast universe.\n\n“Lyrical writing and graceful illustrations together convey the idea that learning opens up a whole world. Mercurio does more than nudge kids in the direction of STEAM fields; she celebrates the beauty of discovery and the elegance of flight.” —Publishers Weekly\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1419734075\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1419734075.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Mercurio, Ishta|Corace, Jen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
