(2) K-3 Illustrated by Floyd Cooper. Thomas's theme in the book's twelve poems is the varying skin tones of African Americans, shown in Cooper's characteristic dark-grained, luminous illustrations. This collection will encourage African American kids to embrace the skin they're in and, by extension, invite children of all races to enjoy whatever their heritage has made them.
