Woodson and Espinosa's energetic reminiscence of 1970s Brooklyn joyfully celebrates the freedom of a summer spent playing all over the neighborhood. An open fire hydrant splashes passersby, mothers keep watch over for children from their windows, and fun is everywhere! Inevitably, there are also scrapes and tears but, importantly, a friend to help brush it off. Whispers about people from the block who became famous give the summer an extra dose of possibility and hope, and neighbors in the tight-knit community know just how to lift each other up. The lilting Spanish text echoes the lively scenes in Espinosa's effervescent, vintage-hued artwork, with lyrical repetition emphasizing the key sentiments of Woodson's verses. This warm and inviting picture book offers a heartening, nostalgic view of the strength of community and the bliss of play.

Two children’s book superstars join forces to celebrate the joy and freedom of summer in the city, which is gloriously captured in Jacqueline Woodson’s rhythmic text and Leo Espinosa’s lively art.

Cuando hace tanto calor como para hacer estallar los hidrantes, eso solo significa una cosa: ¡por fin llegó el verano! Liberados de la escuela y disfrutando de su libertad, los niños de una cuadra de Brooklyn hacen de las calles su patio de recreo. Desde la mañana hasta la noche, crean su propia diversión, dejan volar su imaginación y aprenden a trabajar y jugar juntos. Es un mundo donde todo es posible... al menos hasta que sus madres los llamen a casa para cenar. Pero no hay que preocuparse: saben que siempre hay un mañana para volver a hacerlo, porque la calle les pertenece y ellos gobiernan en su mundo.

Rebosante de energía, el texto rítmico y las vívidas ilustraciones de Jacqueline Woodson y Leo Espinosa capturan gloriosamente la alegría y la libertad del verano, así como el crecimiento que conlleva la independencia.
