This reillustrated edition introduces a new generation to her work, enhanced by vibrant illustrations from Caldecott Honor artist Faith Ringgold. The poems celebrate the universal emotions of childhood, making them relatable to readers from all backgrounds, particularly those from the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago.
