This classic picture book from Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gwendolyn
Brooks, paired with full-color illustrations by Caldecott Honor artist
Faith Ringgold, explores the lives and dreams of the children who live
together in an urban neighborhood. In 1956, Gwendolyn Brooks created
thirty-four poems that celebrated the joy, beauty, imagination, and
freedom of childhood. Bronzeville Boys and Girls features these
timeless poems, which remind us that whether we live in the Bronzeville
section of Chicago or any other neighborhood, childhood is universal in
its richness of emotions and new experiences.
