UPTOWN
Bryan Collier
Henry Holt
Juvenile Fiction
ISBN: 0805057218

Readers get a kicky, vibrant view of life in Harlem, New York, as seen by a boy who lives there. From "chicken and waffles" to jazz, a pick-up basketball game or corner barbershop, it's all home. Collier's paintings --- a swirl of color, texture and shape -- bring his poetic words alive.
