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.
