Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for the eARC! This is a cute counting book I like how the people were in different color throughout the book- it makes them stand out, and easier to count. I would have changed the font color to not match the same blue as the rest of the illustrations- it gets lost on the page in my opinion.

From one person to everyone, this whimsically illustrated book shows how we all travel through life, in ways big and small. This book will appeal to a wide variety of ages, from young children who can enjoy the simple, bright illustrations, to older children who will enjoy poring over the details and finding hidden themes (for example, there is a visual element that connects each page to the next one). Many of the secrets are revealed in the back pages of the book, but that will just encourage readers to go back and see them for themselves. Not to mention that at the back of the book, you discover there are many characters who don't merely reappear, but do so as part of their own individual stories. One character appears over many pages as he falls in love, proposes, gets married and goes on a honeymoon. This sort of storytelling detail elevates it above merely another "Where's Waldo" copy and turns this into a deep, many-layered world that shows how our lives all intersect and interweave, even when we don't know it's happening. I was charmed by this book. I think you will be too.


Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this eARC for unbiased review. This review will be cross-posted to my social media accounts closer to the book release date.

I really enjoyed this title but would love to revisit it in print form. I do not feel the digital format gave it justice. At first I was confused on the skipping of numbers but once re-reading the book I saw I deeper connection and theme. I feel that the book can be read at a simple level or used with higher grade-levels for discussion on tolerance and empathy. I really like the interactive component at the end as both a parent and teacher. This title would be a great addition to any shelf and make a great gift.

This book is so cute. With its whimsical illustrations and thoughtful text, it is great for a parent and child to read together to try to answer the questions. I loved the sections at the back that tell all about the repeated characters that we see in each illustration and the level of detail that the author went to.

To say I was obsessed with this book would be an understatement.

I initially didn’t understand the reasoning behind the numbers but it quickly became apparent the importance of them.

Not only does this book talk about the joy of travelling and visiting different countries, but it subtly takes about really important themes that all children should know about.

Themes include: inclusivity, dealing with worries/fears, feeling isolated, tolerance and compassion.

It is so cleverly written that these hard hitting themes will not overwhelm the reader and they can be fantastic talking points for children to have with their adult, whether it is at home or at school.

Really beautifully illustrated. I read it as an EArc, and this is not the way I would recommend you read it! I need to get a physical copy asap!

OK - there are so many things I love about this book! As a retired preschool teacher, I have read A L:OT of books to kids and I have a huge collection of children's books because I love them and can't part with any of them. This one will definitely be in my collection. First of all, I love the unique way the illustrations are done. The people stand out from the backgrounds, but the backgrounds are still intricate and have so many details and things to look at. I also love that it's not just a story that an adult reads to a child, but it's also a "search and find" kind of story. Who is the person in the picture looking for their keys? Who is the one who needs the bathroom? Would be interactive for a child and adult to read together. And finally, it shows people from all different backgrounds all in the same place. What are they all thinking? How did they all get there? It's a wonderful story that brings together people and what may be important to another person who is standing right next to you! Loved it!

Wonderfully Illustrated. As one another reader here stated, this isn’t a book that should be read in a digital format, I would love to own an actual copy. I can always find a way to use this with my students.

It can be used to introduce numbers and some math concepts too in a fun way. Love the questions at the end - great conversation starters.

I think this would be a beautiful gift for a preschooler and their parents to sit down and read together. I provided additional review here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6370054352

I didn't really understand the pattern behind how the numbers were picked but this would be a fun book for people who enjoy visual puzzles. You first get to see several pictures with different numbers of people having experiences, and at the end, you learn more about what is in the pictures and there are several things you can go back and look for.
If you have a younger child, read this together so you can talk about all the details. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

Wonderfully Illustrated. The cover page wanted me to pick it up. As one another reader on GoodReads stated, this isn’t a book that should be limited to reading in a digital format, I would love to own an actual copy and will definitely buy one or gift it to kids I know. Can already think of ways this can be interactive with kids, can be a game of ‘I spy’ with the various characters. Can be used to introduce numbers and some math concepts too in a fun way. Love the questions at the end - great conversation starters. I think it can be enjoyed by adults as well. The only complaint I would have is the font, the color and style are not very easy to read.

Everybody Travels has something for everyone. There are as many stories in this book as there are people on Earth. Part Where's Wald0, part National Geographic, this book appeals to all ages, all at the same time. Read it once by yourself, Read it once with a young person. Read it once with an older person. There is something new to see with every new read. The back matter is remarkable. It holds all of the "secrets" of the book which would have a reader engaging again and again. There is something to learn about and think about on every page. A profound read for all ages.

What a uniquely illustrated story where the people are the focal point. Each page has a different group of people each with their own story.

The stories highlight how people have different life experiences but they can all come together as one.

I feel like it’s slightly confusing what age group this would be aimed at as it may go over a lot of children’s heads.
