Reviews

"""In this moving tribute to Houston's Emancipation Park, rousing prose lingers on the park's creation as well as its seasonal transformation during years of use, neglect, and rejuvenation. Mohammed's layered application of color and printmaking textures reflect the past and present."" -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) ""Ellis' picture book celebrat[es] the history behind Emancipation Park. Mohammed's illustrations seem infused with sunlight, white space haloing the clear colors of greenery, children of many hues, and blue skies puffed with clouds. A happy book that shows young readers how public spaces can be created and saved to serve their communities."" -- Booklist"
