Fifteen artists provide vibrant and exuberantly colorful paintings
that depict special places, neighborhoods and memories that have
shaped their art and their lives. Paintings are accompanied by the
artists' loving reminiscences of meaningful childhood or
contemporary moments and fun-filled places to which readers will
relate, ranging from a Honolulu movie theater to an Iranian
courtyard filled with 32 cats. This is a loving, wonderfully
illustrated homage to the neighborhood of place, family, heart and
mind. "On my block" can mean the "park-park" down the street, an
artist's studio or the ocean that bounds both Vietnam and
California. Children will very likely be stimulated to think about
places that are special to them. That some of the artists are
lesser known lends a more personal, immediate dimension to their
art and words. (Nonfiction. 6-12) (Kirkus Reviews)
In this lovely homage to neighborhoods everywhere, 15 gifted
artists portray the places most special to them. Readers soar from
the rooftops of south Brooklyn to the desert of Taos Pueblo, from a
basement in San Francisco's Japantown to a Mississippi Gulf Coast
porch. A garden in Mexico overflows with brilliant flowers while
one in Tehran hums with the purring of 32 cats. Moving, funny, and
unexpected, the stories and images encourage children to explore
and observe their own neighborhood and to ask, What is my world?
What is my special place?
