Booktalking "Sugar Hill" by Carole Boston Weatherford
Sugar Hill is at the heart of Harlem, New York, the mecca of African American art and culture. It is where the apartments are stylish. Bright minds excel in this tony portion of upper Manhattan. People dance to jazz and the blues at parties. Doctors and lawyers live adjacent to store owners. The talent of musicians, storytellers, dancers, painters and novelists meld into each other. Creativity flows from these professionals' souls. Many famous people contributed to the artistic field day that was the Harlem Renaissance in the 1930s.

I love the rhyming and rhythm of this book.
