New ed. (1956)
(1) 4-6 Illustrated by Faith Ringgold. With acute observation and feeling, Brooks captures moments of childhood. Ringgold wisely sets her pictures in the time (1956) and place (the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago) of the original writing. The strong colors help situate the poems both in the real world and the imaginary world of childhood, where a tea party seems to float in the air on a raft of blue.
