Reviews"A vibrant and magical take on a common urban sight, creating a modern mythology out of the seemingly mundane. A great choice for most shelves." -- School Library Journal PRAISE FOR BOOGIE BOOGIE, Y'ALL: "After one listen, the print book will never feel the same, but one listen is surely just the beginning for this standout, immersive, wholly original audio celebration of art, creativity, and imagination." -- Booklist (starred review) "C.G. Esperanza's joyous picture book, the graffiti, sounds and scenes of the Bronx are a feast for the eyes and ears. Combined with a rhythm and beat perfect for reading out loud, Boogie, Boogie, Y'all is a party on every page and everyone is invited." -- NPR Books "Esperanza establishes a groovy rhythm in this celebration of art and music, set in the Bronx.
