The illustrations are gorgeous, as always with Vera B. Williams. The facial expressions rendered by the paint strokes are particularly impressive to me in this example. The text is a poetic masterpiece, with the device of repetition both drawing the three stories together and shifting the meaning of sentences in clever and thoughtful ways. A gorgeous, spare, and powerful work of art.
Also, it translated well to a board book.
