Book Description
for You and Me Together by Barbara Kerley
From The United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY)
You and Me Together is all about images: children and parents eating and cooking, dancing and praying. It celebrates everyday pursuits from Australia to Suriname to Iceland that demonstrate simple acts of parental love. Bar bara Kerley’s lyrical text offers rhythmic and comforting images—a perfect bedtime read-aloud. A world map, on which each picture’s location is pin pointed and identified, introduces the back matter. The same double-page spread features a thumbnail of each photo, photographic credits, location, and a detailed explanation of the pictured activity. “A Note on the World’s Children” by Marian Wright Edelman provides an inspirational conclusion. ALA Notable Book. lmp
