(2) K-3 An African American boy walks through his neighborhood holding a basketball, accompanied by a shadowlike silhouette of a kid. At the b-ball court, the shadow pushes the boy to get ready: "Time to put your game face on! Show me your game face!" When it's time for the real game, the boy is ready. Peoples-Riley (This Is It) creates urban landscapes with digitally finished mixed-media collages. For sports enthusiasts who need creative ways to build confidence.
