Summer Sun Risin'

(4) PS Illustrated by Don Tate. An African-American boy rises early in the morning and goes through an idyllic farming day, his eyes on the position of the sun. The rhyming text is a little singsongy ("Pa by the shed / rollin' out wire. / Summer sun's climbin' / higher and higher"), but the rich, restful illustrations of the farm and the stylized, geometrically planed depictions of the family provide texture and movement.
