(4) K-3 Illustrated by Wendy Anderson Halperin. "Thank you, sky, for shining blue that calls me / to touch you, swinging high." On each double-page spread, eight delicate panel illustrations provide glimpses of eight different cultures. One child per country (including the U.S., Bolivia, Mali, and France) responds to a line of the text, which emphasizes shared experiences and is sometimes lyrical, sometimes sentimental.
Reviewer: Amy Lois Cohn
