It's summer vacation, but Zuri Jackson isn't happy. What will she do all summer long in the city when her best friend, Danitra. Brown, the most splendiferous girl in town, is off to visit her family in the country? Write, of course!
Through a series of letters, these two friends share with readers what childhood summers are made of. fireflies, Fourth of July, skies like a thick overcoat buttoned up with stars, family reunions, block parties, handball games...and coming back home, where true friendship always remains.
We met these two unforgettable best friends in the Coretta Scott King Honor Book Meet Danitra Brown. Now Nikki Grimes brings Danitra and Zuri back, in thirteen more spirited poems matched with Floyd Cooper's exuberant paintings.

Book Details
First Sentence
"School is out soon and Danitra's advice is: surrender to summer, to raspberry ices and pink lemonade and walks on the beach and at least one trip to the zoo, one Ferries wheel ride, one family barbecue, one Sunday school picnic, but never a lick of homework to spoil one afternoon."
