A family.
A house.
A neighborhood.
A place to play.
A place to feel safe.

Little by little, baby Tracy grows. She and her neighbors begin to rescue their street. Together, children and adults plant grass and trees and bushes in the empty spaces. They paint murals over old graffiti. They stop the cars. Everything begins to blossom.

In Jeannie Baker's striking, natural collages, an urban community reclaims its land. A drab city street becomes a living, thriving neighborhood -- a place to call home.

Foreign Customer Review/国外顾客评价：

I LOVED this book! It is so beautiful and heartfelt, so detailed and thoughtful and sweet and inspiring. Through illustrations only, we follow a little girl from her birth day as she grows up; we see only the backyard and a bit of the city through the window but, oh, what a story that little glimpse tells! For it is not only the story of the girl growing up, but of the neighborhood becoming more aware of its problems, most especially in that it is not a very attractive place to live and no one seems to have any pride in it. But, what starts as one neighbor man's desire to plant something in his yard (and the girl's curiosity) soon grows into a neighborhood-wide effort to beautify and "nature-fy" the neighborhood, especially using native plants. The illustrations are so detailed and really invite exploration to get the entire story. A wonderful book! Highly recommended especially to those tired of the "environmental books" that don't really offer kids a way to make a difference in their world. (That said, I do think this book will more likely be enjoyed by adults.)
