Illustrated by
Shelly Hehenberger.
Rich hues of magenta, purple, and blue declare the magic of Dreena and Delroy's ordinary world. As they draw, read, bike, and skate through their day, alone or with friends and family, their play is matched by moments of contemplation. Berry moves easily from the quiet of Dreena's dreamy voice as she catalogs her family in verse to the more boisterous poems of her brother.
