<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Even though he brings exotic gifts home when he returns, a young girl misses her father, who travels around the world as a photojournalist.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw's <i>Papa Brings Me the World</i> is a poignant picture book that celebrates the bond between parent and child, and follows their long-distance trip around the world.</b> <p/>Most parents drive a car or ride a bus or train to work--but not Lulu's papa. He navigates mountains, deserts, and oceans, each time returning home with pockets full of treasures. There's an ancient calculator from China, a musical mbira from Zimbabwe, and a special game from Sumatra. But the best treasures are special stories Papa tells when he comes home--tales of playing peekaboo with rare birds in the Andes and befriending dragons in the Irish Sea. <p/>This long-distance love story between parent and child celebrates inclusivity, imagination, and the richness of global cultures. <p/><b>Christy Ottaviano Books</b></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><b>A Junior Library Guild Selection<br></b><br><b>With its inviting story and imaginative illustrations, this picture book could spark curiosity about faraway places and encourage global awareness in young children</b>. --<i>Booklist</i>, <b>starred review</b> <p/><b>Collages rendered with cut, layered paper and finished off with painted textures and rubber stamps create a warm, earthy atmosphere . . .
