During a night of rioting in Los Angeles, fires and looting force neighbors--who have always avoided one another--to come together. David Diaz was awarded the Caldecott Medal for his bold acrylic paint and photo-collage illustrations.

I thought this was a great little book with wonderful illustrations.  The sense of community within this book was a great message that students could really take home with them.  I think that students could learn a little about imagery from this book because David Diaz really did a wonderful job telling the story not only through the words, but through the pictures also.
