Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
"Lilting, intimate-feeling lines by Woodson capture a delicious sense of autonomy and possibility shared 'In Brooklyn/ in the summer/ not so long ago,' when 'the minute/ school ended, us kids were free as air.' Pencil and digital art centers blue skies and city landscapes as Espinosa draws children of varying ages and skin tones bursting from the doors of a school, with 1970s clothing details that are right on the mark. . . . They also engage in camaraderie and community care, comforting each other after scrapes, noticing each other s gifts, and sharing an ice cream truck s bounty. . . . Affirming the strengths of shared experiences and power drawn from collective appreciation, the creators show how a childhood can engender joy that follows 'everywhere I d ever go.' --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"This nostalgic homage to Woodson s childhood in her beloved Brooklyn evokes the senses: the sounds of laughter and double Dutch rhymes, the sight of sidewalk chalk and bottle cap games, and the taste of an ice cream cone with rainbow sprinkles from the ice cream truck. . . . The amazing diversity of the neighborhood comes through both in Espinosa s lively, colorful retro illustrations, which depict Black, brown, and White children, and Woodson s lyrical text, which describes kids calling 'out to each other / in Spanish / in English / in Polish / in German / in Chinese.' . . . Espinosa depicts many characters with mouths wide open, emphasizing their unbridled delight and loudness. Author and illustrator offer a refreshing reminder of a pre-internet time when full-immersion play was the summer activity and kids took full advantage. A dream team of talent show and tell a delightful story of summers gone by." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

In this joyful and nostalgic celebration of young Black girlhood, multi-award-winning author Woodson remembers fondly how, not so long ago in Brooklyn, when school ended for the summer, the neighborhood kids headed outdoors to play, free as air, free as sun. . . . Brightly colored illustrations jam-packed with joyful details fill every page in this positive endorsement of unstructured play. At the end, readers can join in dreaming along with the child who now sits on her front stoop, excited about the many tomorrows to come not just in Brooklyn, not just for the summer, but everywhere and always. Booklist, starred review

Focuses on that magical transition from last day of school to first days of summer vacation and lures listeners to scamper back and forth . . . over a multigenerational bridge of contrasting and shared experience. . . . The details rendered in Espinosa s cheerfully busy scenes are tiny invitations to the contemporary audience to talk about how very different/just the same things are now.
