"Whoever You Are"
"Little one, / whoever you are, / wherever you are, / there are little ones / just like you / all over the world."

Leslie Straub's innovative, colorful, folk art--style oil paintings of children from all corners of the globe are bordered with photographs of hand-carved, bejeweled frames -- and they all reflect Fox's message that no matter where we come from, within our hearts "Joys are the same, / and love is the same. / Pain is the same, / and blood is the same." A gem!
