A little girl grows up to be an accomplished artist in this
sumptuously illustrated book about the small things that lead to a rich
and fulfilling life.
All You need
Is a planet to live on,
A sun to give you light,
And warmth. . .
In All You Need, poet Howard Schwartz's graceful, deceptively simple
text describes a handful of things anyone needs to live a rich and
fulfilling life, made all the more potent by the illustrations of debut
picture book artist Jasu Hu, who uses her talents to create a rich and
powerful narrative describing her own journey, creative and otherwise,
from a childhood in China to her arrival to study art in New York.
Ultimately, she creates her own book, this book, a gift to her distant
parents.
