In Every Life

In Every Life is a picture book by Marla Frazee that reflects on the moments that make up a human life, from the very first beginning onward. In a few spare lines of text on each spread, the book moves through experiences that nearly everyone shares: wonder, joy, love, hope, struggle and loss. Frazee's luminous illustrations show many different people at many different stages of life, so readers of any age can recognize something of their own story in the pages. The book works as a quiet read-aloud for young children and as a gift for families marking a birth, a milestone or a goodbye. It received a 2024 Caldecott Honor for its illustrations.
