Sadie likes living in her grandmother’s brownstone, where she
has her own bedroom and a backyard to play in. She’s full of
thoughts and has lots to say about her family and friends, her
home, her hair, and her laughing feet that can’t keep still. And
when she grows up she plans on being a poet.

This collection of sixteen exuberant poems in the voice of a
young Dominican American girl and energetic, bright paintings
celebrates Sadie’s family and the city around her.
