(2) K-3 Illustrated by Tom Feelings. Gracefully, without tendentiousness, this album of Feelings's sketches of people makes manifest the African diaspora. Accompanied by Dawes's celebratory verses, page after page of evocative drawings are set in Africa, the Caribbean, England, and the American South. The book closes with a tribute by Jerry Pinkney to Feelings, who died in 2003, and a map showing the places represented.
