(4) PS Raffi Songs to Read series. Illustrated by Stacey Schuett. The text of the traditional song about letting one's "light shine" is accompanied by images of an elementary-school class preparing to put on a play: one child dresses as a star and the others dress in native costumes from many lands. Although the art is a bit brooding and dark, the multiethnic cast of enthusiastic kids and the musical arrangement at the end make this book welcome.
