Marshmallow Kisses

(3) PS Illustrated by Mari Takabayashi. With a few well-chosen words, this poem evokes the pleasures of summer, as readers follow the activities of two children throughout the day. In the morning, "Sun sings. / Wings fan. / Swing on porch / With toast and jam." At night there's a marshmallow roast. "Neighbors visit / Into the night. / Marshmallow kisses / By firefly light." Takabayashi's watercolors are full of delicately painted, homey details.
