(4) K-3 Illustrated by Bridget Starr Taylor. In this playful interpretation of a West African creation myth, children (mostly white) put on what appears to be a school play about how people came to be. Cheery illustrations show the children performing as separate parts of the body (ears, mouth, legs, etc.), and the text seems similarly fragmented in places. An author's note is included.
