A leopard, a koala, a moose, a hare, a snail, and you—what could these possibly have in common?In this charming picture book, acclaimed illustrator Manon Gauthier celebrates the connection between animals and humans, that thing we all share: the animal cell, the cell that connects all of us. With her paper collage illustrations, Gauthier brings a range of common and not-so-common animals to life. But there's an extra little something in the illustrations that subtly animates this connection. And, at the end of the book, details about how young readers can explore and celebrate their own creativity.Fetured in the Illustrators' Exhibition at the 2024 Bologna Children's Book Fair, the illustrations in All of Us are quirky and joyful, a delightful celebration of creativity and our wonderful world; Gauthier's simple text inspires curiosity and urges youngsters to embrace their animal family.
