(4) K-3 Illustrated by Chris Raschka. "Few would line up behind a small tree... / if you carried it at your waist just like a flag..." Poet Bell provides a pensive--sometimes confounding--meditation on flags (the text is reproduced in its entirety, without page breaks, at book's end). While Raschka's figures are in dramatic black and white, he primarily reserves color for the book's subject; his resplendent rectangles recall modernist painting.
