One of Three
The youngest of three daughters in an African American family describes the day-to-day activities she shares with her two older sisters as "one of three." On occasions when her older sisters leave her behind, saying she's too little to come along, she feels left out and lonely, until Mama and Daddy find some things for her to do at home with them. Then she's one of three again--"a different kind of three, and that's fine, too...." Angela Johnson demonstrates her remarkable skill at telling a good story that's just right for preschool listeners. David Soman's watercolor paintings capture the energy and emotions of three distinctive sisters. ©1991 Cooperative Children's Book Center
