(3) K-3 Illustrated by Stefan Czernecki. A cadenced text tells about the creation of the world and the origin of ethnic diversity. Papa God says, "If everyone looked alike and spoke the same language, it would be very boring . . . . This way they can live their lives learning all about each other." Illustrations in the brilliant colors of the tropics portray Mama God, Papa God, and their human creations with mask-like features.
