From School Library Journal
K-Gr 2—In this simple and reassuring picture book, Olien opens by asking readers, "You are right now. What are you?" and the bright digital drawings on white background show each child as an integral part of their experiences. (Check out the immediately recognizable "sidewise smile.") "You are a cloud and a ray of light. You are the tallest tree. An open door. A silly dance." One relatable instance after another concludes with the statement that "the whole universe lives inside you. And inside everyone else too." What will you do with all this? It doesn't matter, because "right now, you are here. You are you. And that is perfect.'" The concept of being part of a moment may take a little explaining to the target audience, but in one-on-one sharing it can open conversations about being present while still looking forward to the future. Matched with Amy Krouse Rosenthal's The OK Book, it will serve to alleviate children's existential anxiety about "what comes next" that contrasts to their acceptance of "right now." VERDICT A lovely addition to social-emotional curricula and for one-on-one sharing.—Lisa Lehmuller, Paul Cuffee Maritime Charter School, Providence
