(4) PS Lewis illustrates the text of the traditional African-American spiritual with luminous watercolors that follow a young boy through his day in what appears to be the rural South. The boy invites another child to join a basketball game and helps him make new friends ("Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine"). The paintings are gorgeous if stiff; warm yellows make the book glow.
