Synopsis

All the color, motion, and sounds of a big city compressed into a high-energy board book whose shape echoes the urban skyline. This oversized board books traces a city across the span of a day- filled with the people, traffic, parks, streets, stores, and buildings that make up the town. The breadth of the urban experience may be all found here: from the bicyclist lazily gliding through the park to the raucous swooshhhh of traffic; from the clanging crash of construction work to the quiet of a sweeping streets cape as seen from a high-floor apartment building. Vibrant colors that zing with the heat rising from a steaming sidewalk are perfectly matched to a syncopated, sound filled, chant again-and-again text. Ingeniously die-cut pages reinforce the experience of the city skyline in a stylish pair of books that represent a tour-de-force performance by Sara Anderson.

About this title

About the Author:

Sara Anderson is an award-winning children's book author and illustrator who comes from a well-traveled world of eccentricity and sensual beauty. Her many and varied stories are told from her experience of fall in the Northeast, of the Deep South's swamplands and bayous, of the streets of Manhattan, of the farmers' markets of the West Coast, and of blissful days of swimming in tropical oceans. Her books reflect years of paying attention to and finding delight in the exotic and the everyday.
