ISBN: 9780066239354 Format: Hardcover Number Of Pages: 32 Published: 16 March 2004 Dimensions (cm): 28.45 x 19.71 x 0.97 Description: A wordless picture book that observes the changes in a neighborhood from before a girl is born until she is an adult, as it first decays and then is renewed by the efforts of the residents.

A family. A house. A neighborhood. A place to play. A place to feel safe.

In Jeannie Baker's striking, natural collages, an urban community reclaims its land. A drab city street becomes a living, thriving neighborhood - a place to call home.
