T M Ceraldi: Beyond the Block: A Brooklyn Story, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This is a story of a boy of seven growing up in a Brooklyn neighborhood in 1952. He longed to see the world beyond his block. The love of his immigrant family, as well as other immigrant families and kids who grew up together in a lower park slope neighborhood shaped his life. The safety of his family, friends, and kids on the block allowed him to experience the world through his own lens with an increasing pace of awareness of who he was. The youngest kid on the block, the story follows his many adventures in an early Brooklyn neighborhood whose culture has changed and in some cases, does not exist any more. The good, the bad, the tragic, and the dangerous would allow him a new self awareness of who he is and what life could become.
