Review

“A thin string loops and winds around the people, animals, playgrounds, prayers, and gardens of the world, everything connected in a timeless whole—even scary, ugly things like chicken pox, bullies, lies, and pollution. In this engaging introduction to social consciousness and environmental awareness, color and form are given to the invisible ties that bind the universe together, from the tiniest of cells and atoms to the vastness of the stars and planets.”—Foreword Reviews

“One of Bala Kids’s inaugural releases, this waggish picture book takes its title to heart, emphasizing readers’ connection to an eclectic roundup of people, objects, and phenomena.”—Publishers Weekly

“A worthy attempt to make an ineffable concept accessible to a young audience.”—Kirkus Reviews

“An exploration of our links with everything from blobfish to galaxies.”—Spirituality & Practice
