Before, Now

Follow a child from babyhood to parenthood in this moving, meaningful book about family connections and opposites--a lyrical classic-in-the-making from the acclaimed illustrator of Dragons Love Tacos.


Ava's world is full of opposites: colorful sneakers on a gray sidewalk, thick books made up of thin sheets of paper, and dreams of huge spaces in her small head. Together, these opposites depict a full and impactful life, as Ava moves from girl to student to scientist, from daughter to mother to grandmother. While years pass and some things change, there is even more that is constant in this visually rich, soothing portrait of family connection through the generations. You'll want to cozy up and read this touching, beautiful book together with the children in your life.
