David Diaz.
A cumulative rhyme deftly reveals the technique of master Mexican potter Juan Quezada, who revived traditional methods to create "beautiful pot[s]." The rhyme on the left page of each spread is supplemented by a short prose explanation on the right page, and an afterword offers more information. Bright reds and oranges in the stylized, digitally generated illustrations-some perhaps a bit overdone-augment the text appropriately.
