Summer in the City features appearances from diverse characters of the BeYOU Crew, culturally significant and socially popular illustrations from Dear Beautiful Brown Girl's flagship initiative the BeYOUtiful Brown Girl Project. The picture book takes readers on a childhood journey filled with fun and laughter between friends during memorable hot summer days in the city - memories that adults can easily connect with and a story that young girls and boys will enjoy reading. Audiences will be captivated with the beautiful imagery and realistic depictions of the close-knit black community and endearing friendships between young people of color.
An ideal read for children ages 5-11, Summer in the City is now available to purchase. Through Wainwright's book, she reaffirms the fact that Black children's experiences, culture, community, traditions, and stories are important and deserve to be told.
