First, Nanda's entire world is the circle of her mother's arms but as she grows, she sees the wonder of whirligigs, fractals in the snow, and even the circle of the Earth, itself. - Grand Central PubFrom author Ishta Mercurio and illustrator Jen Corace, the picture book Small World is a beautiful story that âreassures young readers of their place in the world and encourages them to remain full of wonder and curiosity as they growâ (School Library Journal, Starred Review).
When Nanda is born, the whole of her world is the circle of her motherâs arms. But as she grows, the world grows too. It expands outwardâfrom her family, to her friends, to the city, to the countryside. And as it expands, so does Nandaâs wonder in the underlying shapes and structures patterning it: cogs and wheels, fractals in snowflakes. Eventually, Nandaâs studies lead her to become an astronaut and see the small, round shape of Earth far away.
A geometric meditation on wonder, Small World is a modern classic that expresses our big and small place in the vast universe.
âLyrical 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.â âPublishers Weekly - Harry N.
