Fireworks
Matthew Burgess, illustrated by Cátia Chien
On a hot Fourth of July, two siblings spend the day in their city neighborhood before an evening fireworks display. After breakfast with their grandmother, they splash in a leaky fire hydrant, eat watermelon, dance to music drifting from windows, and return home for dinner. From their building’s rooftop, they watch the sky fill with bright fireworks, including a final burst revealed by a gatefold.
