Illustrated by
Michelle Shapiro.
"I have a box of chalk, / A brand new box, / With long perfect sticks / All smooth and dusty." Using her driveway as a canvas, a girl creates a masterpiece that includes everything around her, from the orange cat observing her work to the pink stripes on her shirt. Shapiro's bright illustrations, which look like sidewalk chalk drawings, are convincingly childlike.
