Illustrated by
Elisa Kleven.
Rhyming couplets describe a boy's experiences from morning ("Day begins, dawn breaks anew. / Sun wakes up, I wake up too") to nighttime, as his imagination takes him on a journey through the clouds. Throughout, myriad angels of various ethnicities (and species) watch over him. In this story based on a spiritual, Kleven's dreamy, textured full-page collages display the interconnectedness of creatures.
