All We Need

(3) PS Illustrated by Margaux Meganck. "All we need / is a belly that's filled, / to give us the strength to grow and rebuild." The message that emerges from Wolff's patterned rhyming text is that once our basic needs--for air, water, education, shelter, food, family and friends--are met, we can fulfill the need to share with others. Families from different ethnic backgrounds, religious traditions, and configurations are featured in Meganck's summertime-warm watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations. A neighborhood potluck at book's end brings everyone together in a celebration of inclusiveness and community.
