Every Little Thing

(4) PS Illustrated by Vanessa Brantley-Newton. Bob Marley's daughter adapts the lyrics to his song “Three Little Birds,” reminding a young boy that, despite a mishap or two, “every little thing is gonna be all right.” As usual with the song-as-picture-book gambit, some magic evaporates along with the melody and instrumentation. The mix of what looks like cartoons, realistic drawings, and collage has patchwork-y charm.
