"Lovely and timely. So glad Joshunda is telling our stories." -
Jacqueline Woodson Eight-year-old Ava Murray wants to know why
there's a difference between the warm, friendly Bronx neighborhood
filled with music and art in which she lives and the Bronx she sees
in news stories on TV and on the Internet. When her mother explains
that the power of stories lies in the hands of those who write
them, Ava decides to become a journalist. I Can Write the World
follows Ava as she explores her vibrant South Bronx neighborhood -
buildings whose walls boast gorgeous murals of historical figures
as well as intricate, colorful street art, the dozens of different
languages and dialects coming from the mouths of passersby, the
many types of music coming out of neighbors' windows and passing
cars. In reporting how the music and art and culture of her
neighborhood reflect the diversity of the people of New York City,
Ava shows the world as she sees it, revealing to children the power
of their own voice.
