This is a pristine signed first printing with a letter from the publisher and a cloth patch designed by Jordan Crane laid in. Jordan Crane has signed the title page and drawn a heart. The publisher's letter presents the signed copy and cloth patch to the recipient, a supporter of the Toon Books series.

From the publisher:

A poetic picture book about interconnectedness.

A simple idea: a lyrical picture book, bursting with colors, about our interdependent world, from cell to self and seed to sky. Age Range: 3-6 years ★ “This far-reaching metaphysical outing, an addition to Toon's early reader comics series, focuses on the microscopic and the immense as well as individuality and collectivity. With abstract, psychedelic art, Crane introduces a white, moonlike orb that grows arms and emerges from the darkness after a page turn: “I am one.” The being next appears—smiling, with its arms outstretched—within the chest of a second, long-limbed figure. As the book moves along, the book shows this being as a part of an interconnected whole that comprises the planet and its fundamental materials (“made of air/ and of cloud/ made of water/ and of earth/ and seed”) until the materials become flesh (“of leaf and fruit/ and bug and bee/ and bone and meat”). As the book zooms into the biological, readers glimpse the inside of a neon pink bird's stomach and the ventricles of a beating heart, and atoms are rendered as dramatic, kaleidoscopic forms. Finally, as the book zooms back out, long-limbed beings join the first figure, all with similar orbs that grow from their chests, connecting and pooling together: “We are all one.” This is a strange and lovely meditation on wholeness.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review A poetic and lyrical picture book, bursting with colors, about our interdependent world, from cell to self and seed to sky. “With bright artwork and a spare, poetic text, this inviting comic for little ones takes on a truly gigantic topic: the interconnectedness of the universe… It's eye-catching stuff, and the tone of the text is general enough that, if the concept soars over the heads of little ones, they'll still be able to grasp the overall message, which is warm, encouraging, and hopeful.”–Booklist

Crane, Jordan
