Product Description

Daniel and his mother look out their window at the smoky night below. There are looters on the street, fires in the distance. Daniel clutches his cat, Jasmine. But later, when they're forced to leave their apartment building, Jasmine can't be found.

Mrs. Kim's cat is missing, too. Where are they? They can't be with each other. Those cats don't get along...

"Smoky Night" is a story about cats - and people - who couldn't get along until a night of rioting brings them together.

Format:Paperback
This small children's book is focused on the riots in Los Angeles, a child's view of them, and how people of different backgrounds can come together. It is a great book that can lead a child into a discussion with an adult about riots, violence, mob psychology, and how all of those factors can effect children. It was illustrated by David Diaz and it won the 1995 Caldecott Medal for best illustration in a book for children.

The collages in this book are very creative. It's interesting to see what the illustrator uses to create the backgrounds. The pictures and the story work very well together. The story has a moral at the ending that makes this book worth reading.
