(3) K-3 Petite Poems series. Illustrated by Paige Pettibon. This picture book rendition of a pithy poem by nineteenth-century Muskogee Creek Renaissance man Alexander Lawrence Posey contemplates autumn using one stanza of non-rhyming lines. "In the dreamy silence / of the afternoon,” the narrator observes sights and sounds of the season. Pettibon's (Salish) quiet, lambent illustrations, rendered in digital marker and graphite, depict a Native child reveling in the splendor of the outdoors as the summer’s end gives way to fall. Like the period of the year it describes—charming and crisp.
