"A hot new artist and his distinguished father fashion a picture book with a stirring sound at its center. Walter Dean Myers gives poetry a jazz backbeat to tell the story of Harlem, the historic center of African-American culture in New York City.... Christopher Myers sets his scenes to match the streets, fire escapes, jazz clubs, and kitchens of Harlem, and makes them by turns starkly stylized as an Egyptian mask or sweet as a stained glass window.... [S]ee if anyone can sit still when the book is read aloud."-Kirkus Reviews
