(3) PS Illustrated by Javaka Steptoe. "At the park / the sky grows dark." Short rhyming lines describe children at play during a rainstorm. When lightning threatens, though, they head home in the car ("Wipers swish. / Sneakers squish"). Steptoe's loose cut-paper collages depict a warm, joyful scene. Both text and art do a fine job evoking a situation that every child will recognize.
