Everybody's Somewhere by Cornelia Maud Spelman -- ADVISABLE

Spelman, Cornelia Maude Everybody's Somewhere, illustrated by Alea Marley. PICTURE BOOK. Quarto, 2017. $17. 9781633223844

This rhyming picture book points out that every person is somewhere on Earth, living a particular life -- whether or not you can see them at the time.

Because of the sing-songy rhythm and simple word choice, this book is especially suited to younger children. I could see using it as an introduction to discussions about empathy or about dealing with having a loved-one who is far away. As a side note, the illustrations are gorgeous.
