City Green

Celebrate the 25th anniversary of City Green--the environmentally and community-conscious classic that shows the wonderful things kids can do when they put their minds to it--with this new paperback edition.

"An optimistic tale that manages to be both encouraging yet realistic about how to do some good in your very own backyard." --Kirkus

Right in the middle of Marcy's city block is a vacant lot, littered and forlorn. Sometimes just looking at it makes Marcy feel sad. Then one spring, Marcy has a wonderful idea: Instead of a useless lot, why not a green and growing space for everyone to enjoy?

With her warm, hopeful text and inviting illustrations, DyAnne Disalvo-Ryan shows how a whole neighborhood blossoms when people join together and get involved.
