All Around Her

All Around Her is a hopeful story about a girl learning to choose love, even on the days it feels far away. In a world that can sometimes feel unkind, she begins to notice how love can still be found in the smallest moments-on her walks, in her city, on every street. Guided by the warmth within her and around her, she learns that love isn't just something we feel, it's something we do. A gentle reminder for every age that love is always needed, and always worth choosing.

In this book, Zora is the heart of the story, a character imagined by Lydia Millyon, whose name is derived from the Amharic word zore, meaning "to go around." Zora reminds us how precious and complex life truly is. She's a quiet guide through the twists and turns of feeling, learning, and becoming. As she moves through the world, Zora becomes a symbol of what it means to keep going, to stay curious, and, most of all, to keep loving, again and again. A gentle companion for readers of all ages, Zora invites us to see that even when the world feels heavy, love can still light the way.
