City Angel

32 pp. | Dial | January, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-8037-2821-2 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kyrsten Brooker. In rhyming verse, Spinelli describes City Angel's daily rounds, which include seeding a vacant lot and gently lecturing a litterbug. Brooker's illustrations, which feature an African-American girl in traditional angel attire, are gorgeous--beautifully composed, color-saturated collage and oil-paint creations that depict and dignify the urban landscape.
