This is an emotion-filled journey of a young child finding a place in the world. The child imitates various groups of animals, experiencing the joy of friends and subsequent loss when they leave. Smith's oil and acrylic illustrations camouflage or leave hints about each species he introduces. The satisfying arrival of a "tribe of kids"--this time the human kind--brings the trip full circle.
