(2) K-3 Illustrated by Ashley Bryan. Six Langston Hughes Christmas poems, unexceptional in themselves, evoke from Ashley Bryan paintings--of the Wise Men, of the Holy Family, of a certain shepherd--that combine traditional iconography and composition with his own African-inflected language of exploding patterns, colors, forms. For children of color especially but for all children prospectively, Bryan brings the Nativity home.
