The bad do not win—not finally,
No matter how loud they are.
We simply would not be here
If that were so.
We are each made, fundamentally, from the good. That is the joyful premise of the poem at the heart of this profound and exquisitely illustrated picture book. Naturally imbued with the power to manifest great things—from cures, solutions, and songs to river bridges and star charts—we exist in service to a simple idea: that we can be not only good but better. And we are never alone, armed with the wisdom and light of all who’ve come before. That we have endured, and our words with us, is proof enough that tomorrow is a promise humanity can keep, beginning with each and every one of us—if only we show up to the task. Shot through with light and energy, Ana Ramírez González’s illustrations are in perfect accord with the quiet grace of Alberto Ríos’s words. Luminous, lyrical, and warm—with surefire crossover appeal—this modern answer to Oh, the Places You'll Go! is like an encouraging friend opening the door to a shining world of poetry and purpose.
