Have you pre-ordered #WovenoftheWorld ? Sneak peek into our bookseller-to-booksellers' internal reviews! Can you tell we like this one? @ChronicleKids

When an #indiebookstore owner makes you cry (the good tears!) with just a few wonderful words. Kirsten (@letsplaybooks), you bring me such joy with this review of Woven of the World. Hugs! @ChronicleKids
ALT Image of a book review on Edelweiss for a picture book named Woven of the World, words by Katey Howes, art by Dinara Mirtalipova. The book has a black background with 2 chatracters with blue hair and a blue cat, and swirling patterned multicolored art representing textiles and flowers. the review reads: Kirsten Hess Lets Play Books Emmaus, Pennsylvania Overall Rating:(heart) Format Reviewed: Hardcover Glorious - in every way possible. As children's booksellers we yearn for books like Woven of the World! The beauty of the cover and the illustrations are matched by absolutely exquisite writing. Howe's words are lyrical and melodic, and the content is educational and deeply heartwarming. This book will fly off shelves and will connect readers in so many ways!
