<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>From <i>New York Times </i>bestselling illustrator Theodore Taylor III comes a vibrant ode to street art, a picture book about a child discovering all of the beauty--and art--her new neighborhood has to offer.<br></b><i><br>Shapes moving in every direction, <br>letters weaving in and out, <br>bright colors jumping off of the wall. <p/>It was like a language from another<br>planet that only I could understand. <p/>Graffiti.<br></i><br>In this bright, colorful, and movement-filled picture book, a young girl moves with her family from the big city to a small down. She feels odd and out of place until a stroll down the street hits her with echoes from home: vibrant graffiti splashed against the wall. But when it's painted over that sense of belonging is lost, until an afternoon's adventure shows her that street art can be found everywhere--as well as a sense of home. <p/>In his exceptional author-illustrated debut, Theodore Taylor III has crafted an ode to street art, a stunning celebration of a much-maligned art form and all the beauty it brings to a neighborhood.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Theodore Taylor III</b><i> </i>is a children's book author and illustrator living in Richmond, Virginia with his wife Sarah and son Theo.
