Blue lost one boy to the streets and is determined that this time will
be different. And Damon knows that even though he's the "man of the
house," there's room for a friend like Blue in his life. At the end of
the day, Damon has someone standing steadfast in his corner. Someone
true . . . like Blue. Nikki Grimes's moving poems and Jerome
Lagarrigue's bold paintings create an emotional and realistic bond of
friendship between a man and a boy in a rough world.
