Synopsis:

Barry Falls' debut picture book is a brilliantly illustrated, funny and thought-provoking celebration of where you might go and what you might do in life. 

"As for you my bouncing ball, well you can truly have it all. Yes, you can set the world alight, my child-so-small, your future's bright."

A beautiful, lyrical and funny celebration of the world and the potential of every individual within it. This is the perfect book to read to children to help them appreciate the wonderful things that exist in the world and the wonderful things that they can do, as well as allowing them to understand some of the setbacks that may happen. And in the end, whatever happens, the child is reassured that their parents will always love them. 

Our Thoughts:

"Little one, come walk with me,
there is so much for us to see,
and I will tell you, as we go,
some things a little one should know."

This heartwarming picture book is almost written like a letter to a child from a parent; explaining things and passing on knowledge about the world and the child's place in it, what they can aspire to and do in life. Told in three important lessons, this book celebrates the life set ahead of us, from the good to the bad, and reminds us to dream big.

Told in a fun rhyming verse and peppered with colorful and unique illustration collages, It's Your World Now! is sure to delight and entertain. 

This reminded me so much of Oliver Jeffers 'Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth' with a bit of 'Oh, the Places You'll Go!' by Dr. Suess. I really loved the rhymes and my daughter loved that there was an added prompt to find a lucky little ladybug on every page!
