Welcome to Dream Street--the best street in the world! Jump rope with Azaria--can you Double Dutch one leg at a time? Dream big with Ede and Tari, who wish to create a picture book together one day. Say hello with Mr. Sidney, a retired mail carrier who greets everyone with the words, "Don't wait to have a great day. Create one!" On Dream Street, love between generations rules, everyone is special, and the warmth of the neighborhood shines.
A magical story from the critically acclaimed author of Nana Akua Goes to School and a Caldecott Honor and Coretta Scott King Award-winning illustrator. Illuminating this vivid cast of characters are vibrant, joyful illustrations that make this neighborhood (based on the Roxbury neighborhood in Boston where the author and illustrator grew up together as cousins) truly sing. This book is a perfect way for adults to share with children the importance of community.
