Illustrated by
Brian Pinkney.
Barnwell's spare, rhythmic text extols the joy of universal oneness. Swirling colors in Pinkney's watercolor and gouache illustrations' backgrounds and characters reflect the exuberance of the moment in each scene. Children will also enjoy the harmonious Sweet Honey in the Rock song on which the story is based and the author's reading on the included CD.
