(3) 4-6 In elegant verse, Lewis and Yolen put words to some of Chagall's famous works. Paragraphs of supporting biographical text and vibrant reproductions of the art are paired with poems, mostly written in the first-person, that feel like Chagall's own authentic voice; occasional photographs are included.
