A family. A house. A neighborhood. A place to play. A place to feel safe. Little by little, baby Tracy grows. She and her neighbors begin to rescue their street. Together, children and adults plant grass and trees and bushes in the empty spaces. They paint murals over old graffiti. They stop the cars. Everything begins to blossom. In Jeannie Baker's striking, natural collages, an urban community reclaims its land. A drab city street becomes a living, thriving neighborhood -- a place to call home.

Good representation of helping the environment, and creating a more green, earthy neighborhood. Also can show kids life changes, and what “obstacles” can be seen at each age shown.

This book has no words- but accurately represents a child growing up in her home. The view is through the window of her house, and the book is kind of like a search and find for the kids to figure out what she‘s interested in, how old she is, etc. She also helps develop her neighborhood and plants trees and gardens in her community.

This is a wordless book but a quote I would use is “As I got older and became a teenager I loved to be outside working on things with my family”

This book has no words but I do not think that it needs any words. i love how the city changes out the window as the girl gets older. This is a good story of the view of a girl as she grows up and has her own family.

Mehso-so

published 2004. This book has no words. But I could tell that each page this little girl was a different age. I really enjoyed that it has no words but the pictures tell their own stories! This allows students to make up their own stories with the pictures.

🏘 Over 12 times during my growing up years - we moved from one place to the next, 2x in SG, going on our 3rd
🏘 Philippines to Singapore, 10 yrs ago
🏘 we just packed our books - 12 jumbo boxes
🏘 Yes, moving to our 3rd residence on campus-free housing now as I was accepted as Faculty in Residence
🏘 Only for sofa/piano/heavy furniture-everything else we do on our own. Tagged book shows this tension in moving. Full review below ⬇️
