Synopsis
Alice Walker's poetic picture-book ode to the beauties and pleasures of life is filled with joy and gratitude. With stunning bursts of color whirling through the pages, a young woman of color experiences the deep blue magic of a nighttime sky, a long flower-lined road, and the massive mysteries of the ocean. Whether rain is falling, music is playing, or words are being written, the splendors of living are shared through this ecstatic poem. With tropical-hued paintings throughout.

Industry Reviews
"It is seldom that word and image braid themselves together in such gorgeous perfection. Walker has written a text both ebullient and gentle...Young children will respond to the rhythm of the words and the intense beauty of the magical images; older children will hear the heartbeat of imagination along their own pulses."

"It's less a story than an illuminated prayer--an expression of gratitude for one girl, all humans and the whole of the cosmos."
