(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ken Condon. A collection of poems recounting a young girl's move from Jamaica to the United States, this book chronicles both the excitement and hardship of the immigrant experience, giving voice to a point of view not often heard in poetry for young children. Clear and straightforward, the poems vary in quality, with some more compelling than others. Warm illustrations of city life accompany the text.
