A wonderful picture book introduction to a legendary American writer. "Today I'm going to wear My favorite pink blouse I'm going with my daddy To visit Langston's house." 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.
Gentle cadence to the words, depth in both context and artwork, articulate authenticity of childhood memories given weight of some better understanding through hindsight. This book is a treasure to share with our children of all ethnicities, to begin dialogues with them which will nourish them and their fellows and their children and so forth through gardens and offices and libraries and schools and temples and homes.
