This bounce-to-the-beat picture book by Americaâs favorite rapping teacher from Chicago is a tribute to the sights and sounds of a city neighborhood and the special bond between brothers as they help each other overcome their fears. Â Â
Today is June 19th, Juneteenthâs what they say and for my family, itâs a very special day.
But sometimes the hood feels scary when weâre walking around. I wish I could stay home where itâs safe and sound. Where the dogs arenât BARKING, and the cars arenât HONKING, and the streetlights arenât FLICKERING.
But when Big Bro tells me it will all be okay, I know the noises canât hurt me and ruin my day.
