No Mirrors in My Nana's House: Musical CD and Book

by Ysaye M. Barnwell, Synthia Saint James (Illustrator)

Overview

A little girl discovers the beauty in herself—and the beauty of the world around her—not by looking in the mirror but by looking in her Nana's eyes. Synthia Saint James's gloriously bright illustrations in this paperback edition show young readers how to see the beauty, and the accompanying CD of Sweet Honey In The Rock singing the song lets them hear it.
