| Publisher Description: Honking cars, pizza by the slice, Hair by Carmen, the corner bodega--and Naomi's best friend, Ada. But 11th Street begins to change. Shops close, buildings are torn down, and signs promise something new. One by one, Naomi's neighbors are forced to move. Faced with the transformation of her city block, Naomi picks up a paintbrush. When something we love goes away we paint it on the wall so it's always with us, her neighbor Mister Ray tells her. Naomi turns her 11th Street memories into a great mural--and discovers that where she finds people to love, she will have a place to love. Internationally acclaimed muralist Katie Yamasaki's paintings are at once monumental and heartfelt. Everything Naomi Loved entwines a celebration of community and friendship with a vision of social justice in this lyrical and universal story about home. |
