| Publisher Description: "Children will get the feel of the city and its delights from both the word pictures and the substantial artwork." -- Booklist Seventeen poems by Lilian Moore speak to the joys and everyday wonders of city living, including the hush of a snowy morning, the grandeur of skyscrapers and bridges, the phantom faces reflected in store windows, and the transforming effects of a neighborhood mural painted "on the blank / unwindowed wall" by someone "dreaming / to the slap of a / wet brush." Brought to life through Roma Karas's simple, vibrant illustrations, this collection of poetry offers a loving tribute to small moments in the big city. Back matter includes an index of first lines. |
