Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K-This nine-line descriptive poem celebrates the life of an African-American child. "I sprang up from mother earth/She clothed me in her own colors...As you would cherish a thing of beauty/Cherish me." Each illustrated line of verse occupies a double-page spread. While the flow of the book is smooth and graceful, the minimal action is in the art rather than in the text. Watercolor-and-pencil drawings expose a self-possessed little girl full of expression and energy. At the book's end, when she is seen embraced by a woman's loving arms, a feeling of elation is evident. A slight, unassuming book that exemplifies healthy self-esteem.
