Lullaby (For a Black Mother)

(2) PS Illustrated by Sean Qualls. "My little dark baby, / My little earth-thing, / My little love-one, / What shall I sing / For your lullaby?" Not all poems make for great picture book texts, but this one has just the right cadence and all the right line breaks for smooth page turns, especially when accompanied by Qualls's superb blue-hued pencil, acrylic, and cut-paper collages.
