Book

The world belonged to us / Jacqueline Woodson ; illustrated by Leo Espinosa.

Woodson, Jacqueline,: (author.). Espinosa, Leo,: (illustrator.).

Summary:

"There's nothing as exhilarating as summer in the city! When it's hot enough to blast the hydrants, it can only mean one thing--it's finally summer! Released from school and reveling in their freedom, the kids make the city streets their playground. From morning till evening, they create their own fun, let their imaginations soar, and learn how to work and play together. It's a world where anything is possible... at least till the grown-ups call them home. But not to worry--they know there's always tomorrow to do it all over again, because the block belongs to them and they rule their world. Bursting with energy, Jacqueline Woodson and Leo Espinosa's rhythmic text and vivid illustrations gloriously capture the joy and freedom of summertime and the growth the comes with independence." -- Dust jacket
