Write a Review Wednesday: Summer in the City

Just in time for summer Kathleen M. Wainwright presents an ode to summers past. Summer in the City is Kathleen’s first book and based on her experiences as a young child growing up in and around the Philadelphia area.

Before the days of instant streaming, smart phones and extensive video game systems, children played throughout their neighborhoods. Summer was a carefree time of friends and games. Reading this book is  like a walk down memory lane; a reminder of  old games played, childhood memories of playing with friends and the carefree attitude that summer brought.

Illustrations by Nancy Devard depict children enjoying summer, having a good time exploring their neighborhood and making up their own fun hanging with friends.
