Written by W. Nikola-Lisa, Bein' With You This Way is a best-selling picture book and an "ode to diversity" as one reviewer called it. It has won the Jane Addams Honor Book Award and the Parents Magazine Best Book. This book is a rap-style prose poem, expressively illustrated in colored pencil. It is about a racially mixed group of children enjoying a sunny day at the playground. They soon discover the virtues of racial diversity and, at the same time, the basic identity of all human beings. this pictue book is for ages 3 - 8.W. Nikola-Lisa is a former elementary school teacher, a very important point, because that is how his interest in writing for children started. Reading to second graders year-in and year-out generated the impulse to write books for young readers. That was over two decades ago. Since then Mr. Nikola-Lisa has published more than twenty books, all picture books for young readers, pre-K through 5th grade. Mr. Nikola-Lisa has also written books tht are translated in Spanish; one book is Llega La Noche.
