PLACES TO BE

From award-winning, bestselling author and illustrators Mac Barnett and Renata Liwska comes a classic and luminous picture book about all the wide-ranging emotions that a child experiences.

We have so many places to be! Places to be loud and lovely and scared and jubilant. With an elegant simplicity reminiscent of the classics, this picture book celebrates all our wide- ranging emotions.

With a brilliant economy of text and luminous, tender artwork, the book is reminiscent of Margaret Wise Brown and Ruth Krauss. It's perfect for fans of Kevin Henkes and Philip Stead.
