Items related to Black All Around!
In this lively, poetic celebration of the colour black, a young girl experiences the wonder and joy of all the black objects she finds around her. The letters and words on the pages of a book, a limousine, a big workhorse, beetles, firefighter's boots, piano keys, and more all capture the young girl's attention in joyously illustrated spreads that combine seemingly unrelated objects in imaginative interactions.

PreS-Gr. 2. The glories of the color black are clearly recounted in a pithy verse that stretches the imagination. An African American girl (who looks a lot like a young Oprah) wanders through her world and finds many wonderful things in black: the night sky, the inside of a pocket ("where surprises hide"), beetles, tuxedoes, the letters on the page of a book. And most of all, "Velvet soft / satin sleek. Daddy's arm. / Momma's cheek." Each page brings a bundle of new objects and ideas about the depth and beauty of darkness. The acrylic paintings are fresh and fanciful, full of interesting perspectives: the girl reaches her hand deep into a blue-black lake as fish glide by; she falls asleep in a comfy chair, dreaming of flying off in a rocket ship. The logical question for children alone or in a group: How many things can you think of that are black? Ilene Cooper
