Light

(4) K-3 Mixed-media illustrations--which range from arresting to sentimental--accompany this Creation story inspired by a sixteenth-century Midrash. After God creates the world, he makes humans to collect the powerful pieces of light that have escaped from a jar. As people gather the light, they help unify the world. Like the art, the text is sometimes uninspired, sometimes moving.
