(3) PS Illustrated by Renata Liwska. A feather drifts through a child's window and he wonders about the feather's origin, leading to a series of questions about the nature of things ("Does a chair remember it once was... / a tree?"). The poetic text has a nice rhythm, and while the after/before concepts are rather abstract, Liwska's feather-soft, detailed illustrations of the child (and her signature animals) provide thoughtful illumination.
