<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Simple text follows a young boy and the many animals he meets on his adventure through the jungle.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal</b></p><p>When a young boy embarks on a journey alone . . .<br>he trails a colony of penguins, <br> undulates in a smack of jellyfish, <br>clasps hands with a constellation of stars, <br> naps for a night in a bed of clams, <br>and follows a trail of shells, <br> home to his tribe of friends.</p><p>If Lane Smith's Caldecott Honor Book <i>Grandpa Green</i> was an homage to aging and the end of life, <i>There Is a Tribe of Kids</i> is a meditation on childhood and life's beginning. Smith's vibrant sponge-paint illustrations and use of unusual collective nouns such as<i> smack</i> and <i>unkindness</i> bring the book to life. Whimsical, expressive, and perfectly paced, this story plays with language as much as it embodies imagination, and was awarded the 2017 Kate Greenaway Medal.</p><p>This title has Common Core connections.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><b>Winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal</b></p><p>"Gorgeously textured and colored . . . witty and humorous. . .
