Tar Beach by Faith Ringgold

3.0

A print recreation of a story quilt, beginning on a summer night on the rooftop of a building in Harlem. The young narrator uses her imaginative flight over the city to create a fair world for her family. The format of the story is confusing, and the historical references will probably be beyond young readers, but the images are interesting and evocative.
