Little Black Crow
CCBC Review:
A young boy sitting on a fence post wonders about a little black crow he sees. His questions are wide-ranging as he speculates on everything from the weather and the crow’s family to more serious considerations. “Are you ever afraid of mistakes you’ve made?” Rhyming and repetition create a musical cadence to the boy’s musings, inviting participation in narrative that works its way to the heart of what matters: the little boy’s sense of self and his place in the world. Watercolor and ink illustrations complement this contemplative book. Highly Commended, 2011 Charlotte Zolotow Award ©2011 Cooperative Children's Book Center
