A wonderful picture book introduction to a legendary American writer
It's a special day when a little girl and her father go to visit the house where the great poet Langston Hughes lived--especially when the little girl is a poet herself! This rhythmic tale is a wonderful introduction to the work and world of Langston Hughes, who was a central figure of the Harlem Renaissance and an American cultural hero.Review Quotes
"From the glowing vitality of the little girl, to the vivid scenes of jazz-age Harlem, to the compelling portrait of Langston at work, to the reverential peak into Langston's home, the viewer's eye is constantly drawn to intriguing bits and pieces while never losing the sense of the whole." --Kirkus Reviews
