'My block looks like a collision of cultures a melting pot of cool a burst of life my favourite groove . . .No matter what happens I’ve seen it for myself my block looks like the coolest place I’ve ever been.' A lyrical and proud picture book that recognises the beauty of the bodegas, subways, and playgrounds that characterise everyday life in the Bronx and pays homage to the ways that its residents have shaped pop culture through music, visual art, and dance. Perfect for fans of I Am Every Good Thing and Last Stop on Market Street, My Block Looks Like offers kids a reaffirming message to celebrate and uplift their communities in an energetic text that begs to be read aloud.
A love letter to the hustle, the bustle, the joy, and the grit of city life by debut author and Bronx native, Janelle Harper, and two-time Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award winner, Frank Morrison.
