Description
Two boys from North End Halifax
explore their neighbourhood
and the city beyond, finding
music everywhere. At the skate
park, by the Public Gardens,
down Spring Garden Road, and
on the boardwalk, drums and saxophones and dancers and basketballs create the jumbled, joyful, pulsing rhythm of Halifax.
Shauntay Grant's playful
spoken word-style poem and
Susan Tooke's vivid illustrations
create a wildly energetic and
appealing journey through the
big, bright city.
