My Block Looks Like
Janelle Harper
A young Black girl dances through her Bronx neighborhood, sharing the places and people that make up her block. Her route includes streets, trains, street art, and members of her community. Told in poetic language, the book portrays the movement, energy, cultural mix, joy, and hardship of city life through the girl’s perspective. Detailed paintings accompany her celebration of the neighborhood she knows.
