(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jan Spivey Gilchrist. In this poem first published in 1983, Brooks addresses "children in the world all around me and beyond me," all of whom "have a right to sing" and enjoy life. Both the words by the Pulitzer Prize–winning poet and Gilchrist's vibrant watercolors provide visions of the world's diverse array of children and families. An excellent read-aloud, useful for many programs on peace and multiculturalism.
