Smoky Night ISBN: 978-0-15-201884-9 by Eve Bunting In a night of rioting, Daniel and his mother are forced to leave their apartment for the safety of a shelter. “Diaz has not been afraid to take risks in illustrating the story with thickly textured paintings against a background of torn-paper and found-object collage. Without becoming cluttered or gimmicky, these pictures manage to capture a calamitous atmosphere that finally calms. . . . Both author and artist have managed to portray a politically charged event without pretense or preaching.”—The Bulletin Paperback, 36 pages Appropriate mentor text for:Expository Writing: Literary Nonfiction
