Everybody's Somewhere

(4) PS Illustrated by Alea Marley. "Everybody's somewhere, / Where are you? / I'm right here, / I'm somebody, too." Rhymes with little regard for meter describe where people might be, in terms concrete ("Somebody is flying, / Someone's in a car") and abstract ("Nowhere is somewhere"). Cut-paper-like illustrations, showing an ethnically diverse cast of kids in a variety of settings, accompany this well-meaning but murky object-permanence lesson.
