(1) K-3 Illustrated by E. B. Goodale. As evening falls, a brown-skinned child takes the dog for a walk, mother watching protectively from the apartment window. This child, the "you" of the text, traverses a populous and benign urban neighborhood, musing on the activities glimpsed through windows of buildings passed. The tone is contemplative, balanced by considerable action in the ink, watercolor, letterpress, and digital-collage illustrations and a sense of vibrant life throughout.
