Neighbors’ Day is a day where all of the people within this narrator’s community spend the day getting ready for a “block party” of sorts. The children spend most of the day playing, but towards the end of the day return home to witness their parent(s) cooking. The neighborhood then gets together for a party that goes into the night. This is about bringing diverse populations and neighborhoods together.
The illustrations were not in an artistic style that I enjoyed, but I think they’re interesting and diverse. There is a lot of bipoc representation, but the three white characters (a set of triplets selling lemonade) are essentially ignored by the narrator? I think too much focus was paid to “food” and more examples of culture could have been depicted.
