My Neighborhood

A vibrant and lyrical picture book that follows two brothers on a journey through their inner-city neighborhood, showing off the beauty and life lessons to be found within.My neighborhood ain't perfect, but it’s more than flashing lights seen on the six o’clock news.

They share handshakes on the sidewalk, laughter at the skate park, wisdom at the chess tables, rhythm in the dance circle, and kindness at the corner store. With each step, this lyrical picture book radiates the sounds, gestures, and bonds that make a neighborhood more than just a place to live--that make it a home.Pulsing with rhythm and swagger, Delano Brown’s rich text and Briana Mukodiri Uchendu’s beautiful illustrations capture the heart of an urban neighborhood and the relationships that bring it to life.
