An Un-Calibrated Centrifuge

Smoky Night

Smoky Night - David Diaz, Eve Bunting

After a few disappointments, this Caldecott winner is so great. I love the illustrations. I love the way the frames work with the text and the main images. I love the story and the depiction of interracial tensions and relationships (I know that probably sounds a little weird, but it was very realistic without being heavy handed, too didactic or over the top).
