Great #picturebook alert!
'Somewhere" (Jeanne Willis & Anastasia Suvorova)
Gorgeous illustrations, beautiful cut outs, & a story we can all relate to-escaping to spend a bit of time 'nowhere' when faced with too many questions!
Remember to visit your local #library!!

LIVRO RECOMENDADO
É maravilhoso como uma história com texto e ilustrações tão simples pode ser tão verdadeira. Sabe bem recordar que a mãe gosta muito de nós, mesmo quando grita.
Escrito e ilustrado por Jutta Bauer, este livro pode ser lido por mães e filhos de todas as idades.
