A Caldecott Honor Book * A Huffington Post Best Picture Book about Family * An NYPL 100 Books for Reading and Sharing * A 100 Scope Notes Top 20 Book of the Year

In this magical picture book, a young boy spends an overnight visit with his nana and is frightened to find that the city where she lives is filled with noise and crowds and scary things.

But then Nana makes him a special cape to help him be brave, and soon the everyday sights, sounds, and smells of the city are not scary--but wonderful. The succinct text is paired with watercolor illustrations that capture all the vitality, energy, and beauty of the city.
