"Do you know what I'll do at the seashore? I'll bring you a shell to hold the sound of the sea. . . . Do you know what I'll do at the movies? I'll remember the song and sing it to you." An African-American girl relays her devotion to her younger brother through a series of playful questions and answers. This exuberant revised text has also been reillustrated with bold mixed-media collage illustrations that practically jump off the pages.
