All about Nothing - Hardcover

by Elizabeth Rusch (Author), Elizabeth Goss (Illustrator)

An artful picture book exploration of negative space and the beauty of nothingness. This mindful meditation encourages children to see the world differently.

Nothing is really something! What might be hidden in the space around things, and how is that space important? In art, this is known as negative space, but "nothing" can be thought of more broadly--as free time during the day or the space between people. When we allow ourselves a moment of nothingness, we make room for creativity and so much more.
