(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Ashley Bryan. Thirteen poems encompassing an ever-widening perspective use the art of weaving as an overly obvious metaphor to explore the life and experiences of a mixed-race young girl who is herself "a pleasing / living, breathing tapestry / christened Aneesa Lee." As colorful as the yarn Aneesa works with, the tempera and gouache paintings burst with "berry, apricot, and cherry / Lemon, tangerine, and peach." Glos.
