Some of the Days of Everett Anderson

a 1970 paperback picture book 

by Lucille Clifton 

illustrated by Evaline Ness

Lucille Clifton somehow found time between poetry and her many other accomplishments and roles to also write picture books inspired by her own children and wanting to have more books with Black protagonists available for all ages. 

This book follows the days of a week for a little boy, written from his own perspective and in poetry.

25 pages

note: a former reader added some of their own illustrations (see fourth photo!), but that is the only marking inside the book. The front and end caps have a bit more drawings in the same vein.
