a boy looking up,
watching, wondering.

but the meeting
lofts a rush of childhood questions—
27 in all—inspiring answers
as big as all outdoors.

himself the boy perhaps,
has created a book in the sparest language
against the simplest setting,

From School Library Journal:
Starred Review. PreSchool-Grade 3 Illustrations and text work as one as a boy spies a bird and begins to ask questions. Little black crow,/where do you go?/Where do you go/in the cold white snow?/Where do you go? The initially fact-based inquiries progress from solid to more ethereal. Little black crow/in the white snow,/in the blue sky,/in the brown below,/do you ever wonder/about stars you see?/Might you ever wonder/about someone.../...like me? Impressionistic watercolor landscapes perfectly set the mood and style for these awe-filled inquiries of a curious child. Spare brushstrokes leave large areas of white, and, much like the unanswered inquiries, encourage readers to suggest answers and ask more questions the minimalist paintings create an opportunity to imagine more. Enjoy this beautiful book with a group or share it quietly with a single child. Carolyn Janssen, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, OH
