Book Description
for One Hot Summer Day by Nina Crews
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Instead of playing games indoors near the fan (it's on high), a bead-braided dark-skinned child spends the day outside. Crews' impressionistic photo-collages offer sensory interpretations of the heat and relieving rain. Rather than telling a story, the images reflect one child's hot-day play in an urban neighborhood, encouraging children to remember times when the temperature takes charge. (Ages 3-6)
