The World Belonged to Us
Jacqueline Woodson
In this nostalgic picture book, children on a Brooklyn block spend a summer day outdoors while the adults around them stay busy. They cool off at an opened fire hydrant, play games including skully, double Dutch, stickball, kick-the-can, and tag, make cardboard forts, chase the ice-cream truck, and trade stories. Spanish, English, Polish, German, and Chinese are heard on the street as the children fill the time between breakfast and dinner with play.
