All the Animals: How to Draw Books for Kids with Dogs, Cats, Lions, Dolphins, and More

Employing sweet humor and sensory detail, Barnett (What Is Love?) and Berube (Second Banana) convey the unexpected beauty of a school performance. . . in a breathlessly kinetic, wordless sequence, spreads show John turning, leaping, and landing, light as a feather. . . The story&#8217;s collective, omniscient voice and graceful illustrations, wonderfully reminiscent of The Philharmonic Gets Dressed, portray a community that stays open and curious&#8212;and a child who shares their effort with brave vulnerability. &#8212;Publishers Weekly (starred review)Barnett and Berube offer a sensitive story about a boy grappling with stage fright and insecurity. . . . Barnett and Berube bring mastery of craft as well as an understanding of human nature to offer a fresh take on a familiar trope. &#8212;The Horn Book (starred review)Berube&#8217;s warmly colored illustrations capture how John&#8217;s apprehension turns to confidence and even elation as he dances; his facial expressions and body language are spot-on. Much of this perfectly paced book is devoted to John&#8217;s performance, including five elegantly and economically composed, almost wordless spreads. . . . John faces down his fear to share his gift with determination, beauty and a style that is all his own. A true gift, indeed.&#8212;BookPage (starred review)The quiet text tells the story simply, though during the lively, eight-page dance sequence featuring images of John in motion, two words suffice: 'He danced.' Berube&#8217;s sensitive drawings, created with ink and paint, capture the look and ambiance of the elementary-school setting as well as John&#8217;s emotions. A respectful, wonderfully childlike introduction to ballet. &#8212;BooklistBerube&#8217;s simple ink-and-paint illustrations have minimal background details, allowing readers to focus squarely on John and his emotions. It is truly wonderful to see a boy character in a children&#8217;s book so enthusiastic about, and accomplished at, ballet. Any child, though, who has a talent to share or struggles with performance anxiety will find a role model in John. . . . A lovely, empowering book about having the courage to express one&#8217;s individuality. &#8212;Kirkus ReviewsDappled textures and simple lines of the ink and watercolor art play well with perspective. . . Viewers who struggle with stage fright and embracing their hobbies may gain some confidence from John&#8217;s journey and the book&#8217;s welcoming, inclusive tone.  &#8212;The Bulletin of the Center for Children's BooksThis wonderful children&#8217;s book is filled with tender illustrations and a lovely story about a boy who is waiting for his turn at Friday Assembly where they have a &#8220;Sharing Gifts&#8221; portion. I just loved this book, especially the ending.&#8212;Book Riot
