Description
 
Asked to write a Japanese box poem in his first grade class, Omri Glaser conceived a brief musing on the cycles of nature. When a tear provoked by a bee sting falls from a child's eye to the ground, it evaporates in the sun's heat, becomes part of a cloud "that made the rain fall" and gives nourishment to a vegetable garden where onions grow. Completing the cycle, the onions, when eaten, "made the gardeners cry" tears of pride and joy. Omri's father, Byron Glaser and Sandra Higashi riff on this one-sentence text with boldly hued, digitally created full-bleed illustrations. Their two-page spreads of solid color and minimal artwork alternate with more elaborate spreads depicting broad stretches of sky, ponds, and gardens. Perhaps the youthful age of the author can serve as an inspiration to would-be writers and illustrators.
