I dreamed I was back in my old hometown last night, for a homecoming, and the streets were crowded with people -- this is a great book to extend that feeling of togetherness.Beth Stilbornhttp://www.bethstilborn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1114028378756847690.post-28760266784342699402012-02-24T15:08:47.902-08:002012-02-24T15:08:47.902-08:00Saba, this book sounds so nostalgic for me.

Everyone in the neighborhood was my parent. And we spent the entire summer outside playing, only coming in long enough to eat and run back out. We knew everyone. Can't say that of the neighborhoods I brought my daughter up in. I must check this one out. Love the idea of a diverse urban neighborhood.Patricia T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10673204828383998897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1114028378756847690.post-22452355859967299272012-02-24T14:28:16.248-08:002012-02-24T14:28:16.248-08:00I love this.

I'll check this book out for inspiration. Perhaps, we could have a Picture Book block party. :)Stacy S.

Maybe somehow we can foster more of it. Thanks so much for sharing this - I don't think we have too many neighbor/neighborhood books on the list, so that makes this doubly great!Susanna Leonard Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655630528649780363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1114028378756847690.post-74716228265935819492012-02-24T07:30:50.059-08:002012-02-24T07:30:50.059-08:00It's nice to see a neighborhood featured perio...It's nice to see a neighborhood featured period!
