I liked this book. I liked this book a lot. It was a great slice-of-life kind of story that makes you smile. It shows you that in a way, everything’s always connected. Pure and sweet.

I loved placer streets story with the low cuts. There wasn’t a story I didn’t like tbh. All of them exploring black childhood and the different lives we all love, whether known to each other or not. Ty giving Bryson the roses in burman street😭😭😭

I wish I was still an English teacher so I could teach this book. I love that there's no true overarching plot to this, but is rather a series of interconnecting character vignettes. Each one lands beautifully, detailing very human, extremely relatable characters. And the language? Reynolds is a freaking poet the way he constructs his prose. Top notch, highly recommended.

This book was so sweet and wholesome and showed such a positive school community and showed how smart and kind and caring children are and as they cross the bridge from childhood to adulthood

This book has stories for middle aged kids along a few blocks on their home. They are different characters working each chapter. I love how they all tie in together. I am going to recommend this to my friend that is a middle school teacher.
