All Good in the Hood

This bounce-to-the-beat picture book by America’s 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.   

Today is June 19th, Juneteenth’s what they say and for my family, it’s a very special day.

But sometimes the hood feels scary when we’re walking around. I wish I could stay home where it’s safe and sound. Where the dogs aren’t BARKING, and the cars aren’t HONKING, and the streetlights aren’t FLICKERING.

But when Big Bro tells me it will all be okay, I know the noises can’t hurt me and ruin my day.

Praise

“An endearing story … The sweet family dynamics, particularly between the brothers, carry this story, which is less concerned with Juneteenth’s history than it is about depicting an upbeat, modern celebration.”  —Booklist
"Reed’s conversational rhymes and Jose’s cartoon-style digital illustrations capture the celebratory air of the family’s local Juneteenth festivities, the heightened state of the main character’s emotions, and the bolstering support that a close family relationship can bring." —Publishers Weekly
