My neighborhood ain't perfect, but it’s more than flashing lights seen on the six o’clock news.
Follow a young boy as he explores his neighborhood hand-in-hand with his older brother, Trevor. They share handshakes on the sidewalk, laughter at the skate park, wisdom at the chess tables, rhythm in the dance circle, and kindness at the corner store. With each step, this lyrical picture book radiates the sounds, gestures, and bonds that make a neighborhood more than just a place to live--that make it a home.
Pulsing with rhythm and swagger, Delano Brown’s rich text captures the heart of an urban neighborhood and the relationships that bring it to life.

Critic Reviews
★ "A stellar tribute to the beauty of communities too often misunderstood and unfairly maligned." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
★ "A vividly wrought portrait of a home that’s 'more than flashing lights seen on the six o’clock news.'" —Publishers Weekly, starred review
★ "Brown’s rhythmic prose holds the cadence and complexity of a bustling and vibrant urban environment, while Uchendu’s illustrations, nearly audible, show its joy, playfulness, and movement....and the fun that can come from the imagination." —Quill & Quire, starred review
"A beautiful love letter to big brothers who lovingly care for their younger siblings....this would also make a nice lapsit story for an older sibling to read to a younger one." —The Bulletin
"A nostalgic walk through the after-school lives of two free-range city kids that brims with brotherly love and good feelings." —School Library Journal
