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.
]]>See what?
Underwater forests of kelp.
Rocks with strangely beautiful textures.
A myriad of fish.
The hidden splendour of one of the Earth's last, most alluringly beautiful frontiers.
And something totally unexpected!
Ben will never see things the same way again. And neither will you.
