Around Our Way on Neighbors' Day (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780810989719)

Inspired by the Miami neighborhood she grew up in, author Tameka Fryer Brown teams up with award-winning illustrator Charlotte Riley-Webb for the picture book about a diverse community in Around Our Way on Neighbors' Day.

Neighbors gather on a hot summer day for a joyful block party: Kids play double Dutch; men debate at the barber shop and play chess; mothers and aunts cook up oxtail stew, collard greens, and other delicious treats; and friends dance and sway as jazz floats through the streets.

A rhythmic tale that celebrates the diversity of a close-knit community, Around Our Way on Neighbors' Day will excite readers and prompt them to discover the magic of their own special surroundings.
