I Am a Story

(3) K-3 "I am a story. / I was told around a campfire, / then painted on cave walls"; it's later "woven into tapestries" and "acted out onstage," with a nod to e-readers toward book's end. Yaccarino bends his customary modernist use of shape and color to capture ancient history through today in this thoughtful book, in which a story tells the story of storytelling.
