(4) PS Harper Growing Tree series. Illustrated by Nneka Bennett. Lovely but repetitious portraits of an African-American girl illustrate this short verse on the celebration of self. With lines such as "I was nourished by father sun / He glazed the pottery of my skin" and "I am beautiful by design," the text seems too formal and abstract for the intended preschool audience.
