Reviews: Margery Cuyler takes a simple idea and turns it into a captivating book. At the beginning Maria introduces herself and her family, then tells where she lives. The ever-expanding view of her home takes us to the edges of our galaxy, and beyond. The simple yet creative illustrations are beautiful and finely detailed. Reviewed by L. Kamuyu.
