Ted Lewin
An African American boy observes the things that catch his attention during walks to and from school: a dog, truck, flowers, bird, butterfly, arborist, and merry-go-round. At home, he makes drawings from what he has noticed. Trucks recur often, revealing a particular interest. Minimal text uses repeated words, while realistic watercolors supply details that help explain the scenes.
