LITERATURE
Blanco, Richard

One Today

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Dav Pilkey. A small African American girl and her companion, a Caucasian boy, explore the world described by poet Richard Blanco on the occasion of Barack Obama's second presidential inauguration. The verbal imagery is striking, and Pilkey's acrylic and India-ink paintings (done in the style he used in The Paperboy) make the adult thoughts more accessible to children.
