we don have no backyard
frontyard neither…
Who needs a backyard when you’ve got brownstone steps, double dutch, and freeze tag beneath the sizzling summer sun?
we don have no backyard
frontyard neither…
Who needs a backyard when you’ve got brownstone steps, double dutch, and freeze tag beneath the sizzling summer sun? The jingling bell of the ice cream truck mingles with laughter and side walk rhymes. Frosty lemonade from the corner store and tight cornrows beat the heat with style. There’s nothing like summer time in the city when you’ve got your friends, family, and imagination to keep you company.
Ruth Forman, whose work has been honored by the American Library Association, offers a poetic testament to childhood, language, and play. Cbabi Bayoc’s richly hued paintings brings to life the streets of South Philadelphia to vivid life. Young Cornrows Callin Out the Moon is a celebration of city summer memories, and of African American culture and community.
