Review "An essential book that acknowledges in the simplest of terms our common humanity." -- Kirkus Reviews"With a gentle and knowing calm, Fox (Time for Bed) provides a compelling exploration of the differences between children that make them unique as well as the common humanity that unites them. In Foxs picture book, divisions of culture, race and geography fall away in light of a global community where smiles, laughter and tears are universally understood. The simple, rhythmic text, written in the second person, is designed to involve the reader directly" -- Publishers Weekly Review Quote "An essential book that acknowledges in the simplest of terms our common humanity."--Kirkus Reviews -- Details ISBN0152007873 Author Leslie Staub Short Title WHOEVER YOU ARE Pages 32 Language English ISBN-10 0152007873 ISBN-13 9780152007874 Media Book Format Hardcover DEWEY 305.8 Year 1997 Edition 1st Residence Adelaide, AT Birth 1946 Illustrator Leslie Staub Audience Age 4-7 DOI 10.1604/9780152007874 UK Release Date 1997-10-01 Country of Publication China Imprint Clarion Books Publisher Clarion Books Publication Date 1997-10-01 Audience Children / Juvenile Imprint US Clarion Books Publisher US HarperCollins Illustrations Illustrations We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
