A sweet book about a child born and raised on a farm as told from his perspective and from his family's reminisces. The illustrations are superb, too. This one is a keeper. ( ) Within the sanctuary of a loving family, baby Eli is born and, as he grows, learns to cherish the people and places around him, eventually passing on what he has discovered to his new baby sister, Sylvie: “All the places to love are here . . . no matter where you may live.” This stunning picture book is the perfect gift for parents of a new baby. “All the Places to Love” is about a little boy who grows up on his grandparents’ farm and enjoys several places on the farm. Eli’s grandparents’ make sure that he enjoys every inch of the farm, from the rivers whispers to the cows chewing grass. Eli has these memories that he plans to pass down to his sister as she grows up on the farm as he has. MacLachlan uses expressive language to give an image to her words, as well as the illustrations. The descriptive language helps paint the picture that the reader is able to see. no reviews | add a review
