ABOUT
We are each made, fundamentally, from the good, and we exist in service to a simple idea: that we can be not only good, but better. That is the joyful premise of the poem at the heart of this profound and exquisitely illustrated picture book. We are naturally imbued with the power to manifest great things—from cures, solutions, and songs to river bridges and star charts. And armed with the wisdom and light of all who’ve come before, we are never alone. That we have endured, and our words with us, is proof that tomorrow is a promise that humanity can keep if only we show up to the task. Shot through with light and energy, Ana Ramírez González’s illustrations are in perfect accord with the quiet grace of Alberto Ríos’s words. Luminous, lyrical, and warm—with surefire crossover appeal—this modern answer to Oh, The Places You’ll Go! is like an encouraging friend opening the door to a shining world of poetry and purpose.
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
