Catching Kisses

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Maria van Lieshout. In this endearing meditation, an omniscient narrator ponders the nature of kisses, both poetically ("Some are velvet / as peach fuzz") and philosophically ("Once a kiss is given...it can never be taken away"). Unassuming flowers representing smooches float through scenes--a beach, a city street, a rained-upon baseball game--in which van Lieshout makes fine use of silhouette.
