(2) K-3 Illustrated by Elbrite Brown. In this fifteenth-anniversary edition of the 2004 Coretta Scott King/John Steptoe illustration winner, an African American girl's family members all perform in groups that play different types of music. Each spread sets a different musical scene, with the girl always participating. Readers come away with the impression of a close-knit and loving--and musically diverse--extended family. Cut-paper-collage illustrations exude warmth and vibrancy. Glos.
