(4) K-3 Illustrated by Michael Bryant. "Daddy says our people built the pyramids. / I wish I could have been there." As her father relates various African-American accomplishments, a young girl imagines what she herself would have done. The illustrations convey the warmth between father and daughter, but a deleted sentence in the revised text may confuse readers (the text mentions politicians, teachers, and doctors while the art shows a cowboy).
