Ceci Ann's Day of Why

32 pp. | Tricycle | October, 2006 | Trade ISBN 1-58246-171-6 $14.95
(3) PS Illustrated by Shino Arihara. "Why are there birds? / Why is there sky? / Why are there words? / Why is there why?" An African American girl's rhymed quartets of questions take her through one entire day; refreshingly, readers are trusted to come up with their own answers. The fastidious gouache illustrations of the city are as earthly as the girl's questions are ethereal.
