(3) PS Translated by Claudia Bedrick. "Free as a bird" and "quick as a hare" are the first two of this book's twenty-six animal-themed similes. Each simile offers a subtly empowering message for young readers; a one- or two-page illustration shows a child and the name-checked animal modeling its characteristic attribute. Fittingly, the blocky illustrations in a poster-paint palette are reminiscent of children's art.
