(3) K-3 Illustrated by R. Gregory Christie. A young African American girl celebrates being black with a collection of lively definitions drawn mostly from her everyday life: "Black is big / like a star-filled sky / and tiny like the / sparkle in my daddy's eye." The warmth and joy conveyed in her descriptions is echoed in Christie's vibrant illustrations.
