On the Small Hill Where the Girls Take Off Their Shoes

"Lyrical [...] can spark a conversation about how our world has changed over the millennia."
-Youth Services Book Review

"A brief history of the world is delivered memorably in this thoughtful conceptual picture book. ... With fairy tale-like conversational ease and elegance, acclaimed storyteller Buitrago succinctly relays how each iteration in time builds on what was there before ... Themes of regeneration, connection, and hope shine through the text and illustrations. A simply profound exploration of time and timelessness."
-Booklist STARRED Review

"Tender text lovingly recalls the past while focusing on present-day experiences.... Readers will come away curious to learn more about histories of their own communities.... The history of the world presented lovingly through an intimate lens."
