(3) K-3 Illustrated by Gary Lippincott. Using renga (a form of linked, alternating verse), Lewis and Janeczko weave a snapshot of life in a small town. The poem offers possibilities for repeated readings, revealing increasingly rich levels of meaning and evoking deeper responses. Lippincott's soft, realistic illustrations extend the writing, providing visual clues to what has come before and what will be revealed next.
