About this book
Langston Hughes’s brief poem is paired with photographs by Charles R. Smith Jr. that give readers time to look closely at faces and expressions. The pictures invite a conversation about how a photographer can answer a poem without illustrating it literally. The book can be read aloud slowly, letting the words and portraits speak to each other.
