Book
"Thirty noted authors and illustrators offer interpretations of home in a collaboration whose proceeds will go to Share Our Strength, an organization that provides food and shelter to the needy. The eclectic mix of poetry, prose and pictures spans a range of distinct styles and emotions. Arthur Yorinks serves up a raucous refrigerator rap about his favorite household appliance, accompanied by Richard Egielski's renditions of dancing food; a tender watercolor portrait by Jerry Pinkney amplifies Lucille Clifton's poignant poem about the solace a child finds in a housing project elevator; and in a moving essay Laurence Yep remembers his grandmother's cramped Chinatown apartment. Many of these author/illustrator duos have worked together before, resulting in particularly solid and polished combinations."-Publishers Weekly
