Written by New York poet Sarah Kay and illustrated with warmth and detail by award-winning artist Ryan Johnson, this vibrant book captures the heart of the big city.
Through vibrant illustrated poetry - written by a poet from the city - readers can enjoy an armchair stroll through busy city streets and visit some of its familiar and not-so-familiar sights. . . Blending Kay's lyrical text with non-fiction and Johnson's beautifully detailed illustrations, this bold and bright book captures the heart and soul of the Big Apple. -- Pam Norfolk * Yorkshire Evening Post *
Sarah Kay's magical text, paired with Ryan Johnston's illustrations, brings a strong sense of the city's history, energy and everyday life. A non-fiction section adds punchy bursts of facts about New York's geography and past. Ideal for primary school libraries, it also works well as an inspiring text for exploring poetry about place in literacy lessons. Highly recommended. -- Tom Tolkien * The School Reading List *
