What a celebration! Black men and boys do all sorts of things, with bold graphic style that feels like a mix between Lichtenstein pop art and Picasso portraits. Portraying the everyday and the exceptional, with simple rhythmic text that encourages readers to dream and think.
Fantastic updating and modernization of beloved Richard Scarry's Busytown. Gorgeous art and uplifting, realistic messages. Suitable for every child!
