Have you ever dreamed of traveling back in time? R. Gregory Christie’s illustrations of “Sugar Hill” transport readers back to the Harlem Renaissance. Written by Carole Boston Weatherford, “Sugar Hill” takes readers to a place where life is sweet and the streets are filled with famous artists, novelists, and musicians.
“Jazz Baby”, written by Lisa Wheeler, is a wonderful read aloud with “snazzy jazzy” lyrics and verse - oh, yeah! Christie’s illustrations are “rompin, stompin” fun and fill the page with movement and expression. Share a jazz cd and children will “snap, snap, snap” and “clap, clap, clap” right along with “Jazz Baby”.
“Mousetropolis”, written and illustrated by R. Gregory Christie, is a modern retelling of the classic country mouse, city mouse tale. Recently published, this book has perfect design, clever illustrations, and suspense. Watch out for the owl and cat!
