(3) K-3 Illustrated by Lisa Cohen & Lisa Cohen. Everyone in Toby's family is bringing something to make music at the ring-shout, an African-American tradition, combining "celebration, thanksgiving, and praise." Toby, attending for the first time, can't think of anything. But once the music and dancing begins, Toby speaks "with everything I had, from my toes to my nose." The expressive, richly colored illustrations contribute to the infectious joy. An author's note adds useful history. Bib.
