More About the Book: Your whole world is waiting. Just step through the door. There's much to discover. There's more to explore. Together, there's so much we can do, in a book, me and you . . . and all the world too! Amazing adventures are in store when we play together, learn together, stand together, and work side-by-side. From Jean Reidy and Joey Chou, the dynamic duo behind What Would You Do in a Book About You? and Me and You in a Book Made for Two, comes a story about the joy of sharing the world with others and all the wonderful things that can happen when you are part of something bigger.
