BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
When a boy from New York comes to visit Mississippi for the summer, the boys who live next door try to welcome him. But there's a lot to miss left behind in New York, and a friendship isn't going to be easy.
Wow! Beautiful illustrations! This is a gorgeous book! The text and illustration combined speak their own language, and brought this adult reader back to the summers of my youth. I'm certain there's many more layers to this story than my own culture understood, but I loved it so much, I can believe if you are part of their culture, you will really enjoy it, too. The boys are black.
