My Neighborhood
Ms. Marta lives in a bustling neighborhood where everyone knows her well and looks forward to her cheerful daily greetings. Mixed media illustrations illuminate her world, with predominant bursts of blue and red among other hues; the pictures included faces trimmed from photographs, too. Each conveys a range of Ms. Marta’s neighbors’ personalities and the nuances of their busy lives. Adult audiences will also appreciate this story about the happy rhythms of growing old at home.
