Life hungers to abound Book

Knoxville, Tennessee by Nikki Guivanni is about a little girl growing up in Knoxville, Tennessee. She likes summer best, and the things she do in the summer are described and shown with beautiful pictures. Things such as eating corn on the cob, ice cream, listening to gospel music, or picking vegetables from her Daddy's garden. She also describes being warm all the time in the summer, even when going to sleep.

I give this story 3/5 stars. It was definitely written for younger children because of how little words were on each page. There was about 4-6 words on each page, so it was a lot more about the illustrations, and more poem like. What she was saying could be envisioned in your mind. The illustrations are beautiful, with the visible brush strokes and all the color.
