The Very Best Recess!

Come listen in as we welcome author STEPHEN BARR with his brilliant, playground-set new picture book: If This Were the World.

Ms. Lee’s class had come perilously close to running out of games, but a new one, the hunt for the best world, gains steam right away. The orange is tasty, but too small to share. A dodgeball world can be punted to outer space by a mean older kid. A maple tree isn’t portable enough. 

Maybe there really is only one world that ticks all the boxes, only one world where everyone fits and can get what they need… and maybe it’s time to treat it a little better.  

This is an incredibly illustrated tale that reads like the very best recess. With a cast full of memorable characters and wonderfully written prose, it makes for a perfect read-aloud — and a perfect storytime!
