Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS—Childhood is a time full of potential, and Martin celebrates this promise in this work. The general premise of Dr. Seuss's classic, Oh, The Places You'll Go is pared down to elegant simplicity. "Will you stand up for good/By saving the day?/Or play a song only you/Know how to play?" While the rhyming text falters a bit in spots, the word choice overall is spare, inspiring, and accessible to preschoolers. Children are encouraged to be kind, clever, and bold, to take care of the small, and to help things grow. Martin's oil paintings have the same retro, mid-century feel as her other illustrations, with large-eyed children of many ethnicities playing, gardening, and sharing together. VERDICT A go-to gift for new parents, and a potential bedtime favorite for many children.—Martha Link Yesowitch, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, NC

Review

“Her children are so serious… and so unflappable… that they convey not just hope for the future, but a sense of manifest destiny.” — Publishers Weekly starred review

“Sweet but not saccharine and singsong but not forced, Martin's text is one that will invite rereadings as it affirms parental wishes for children while admirably keeping child readers at its heart.”
—Kirkus starred review

    Emily Winfield Martin makes paintings, books and other things. When she was small, she spent every moment drawing, reading, dressing rabbits in fancy clothes, and having many peculiar daydreams. When she grew up, she began to illustrate those daydreams and she created a cottage industry called The Black Apple, which sells all manner of her art and etceteras.

    She works in a tiny nook of a studio filled with old children's books, wind-up toys, and stacks of fabric. She lives in Portland, Or.

This book has darling, eye-catching illustrations and such a precious story. Diversity included. This is a book I give as a baby shower or newborn gift to both boys and girls. I’ve added it to baby gift baskets and it looks beautiful. Supervision recommended as this book has regular pages that will tear if mistreated. There are fold out pages that children love. This is a book for parents who love to read, and will enjoy reading to their children. Highly recommend!

My granddaughter absolutely loves this book. And she’s already talking about the things she could be and she’s only three! I didn’t have to contact the seller for anything. There was slight damage to the book, but any book that you buy used in good condition if the book was loved, is going to show a little bit of wear and tear and that’s all it was nothing major. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my granddaughter!
