    <![CDATA[Brown-skinned momma, the color of chocolate milk and coffee pumpkin pie, whose face gets ginger red when she puffs and yells the children into bed. White-skinned daddy, not white like milk or snow, lighter than brown, With pinks and tiny tans, whose face gets tomato red when he puffs and yells their children into bed. Children who are all the colors of the race, growing up happy in a house full of love. This is the way it is for them; this is the way they are, but the joy they feel extends to every reader of this book.<p><em>Black is brown is tan</em> is a story poem about being, a beautiful true song about a family delighting in each other and in the good things of the earth.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Malcolm X lived in difficult times - when some thought that black people were inferior to white people. But Malcolm believed that black people should stand up for their rights and he preached this belief everywhere he went. His message became popular because it was one of hope and pride. But it also became dangerous, because some people didn't agree with him. In 1965, one of these people shot and killed him. Even though his life was cut short by hatred, Malcolm X's ideas still affect people of all races. Here is his amazing story.</p>&lt;P align=center&gt;<strong>An ALA Notable Children's Book</strong>&lt;/P&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[Arnold Adoff manages to climb inside a child's mind, body, and soul to write these poems of seeing, feeling, tasting, hearing, smelling... being. He loosely follows the seasons of the year with verses about the hottest day of the month so far, raking and rolling in fall leaves, the itchiness of a wet wool hat in winter, and a &quot;Spring Saturday Morning&quot;:<p>  <blockquote> Legs Into Over Alls,<br/> Feet Into Socks,<br/> Toes Finding<br/> Their Places:<br/> I Pull My Boots On<br/> And Buckle My Rain<br/> Slicker All The Way.<br/> I Am Ready With My<br/> Black Rubber Hat.<br/> <p>  I Do A Monster Walk<br/> Outside<br/> Into The Mud.<br/> <p>  Lisa Desimini's mixed-media collages use photographs, paintings, paper, and computer graphics to create exquisitely original artwork that perfectly engages with Adoff's verses. These two collaborated on another wonderful poetry collection called <em>Love Letters</em>. No need to be a poetry buff to enjoy either one of these special books. Go ahead--touch the poems! (Ages 4 and older) <em>--Emilie Coulter</em></p></p></blockquote></p>]]>
