Granddaddy's Street Songs

Granddaddy's Street Songs by De Gross, Monalisa. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780786801602.

Roddy loves to bring out the old family photo album and listen to Granddaddy tell stories about his long-ago days as an "arabber", a fruit and vegetable vendor. With his horse-drawn wagon laden with the freshest produce, Granddaddy would ride down the cobblestone streets and narrow brick alleys of Baltimore, singing out his special calls to customers. Singing along with Granddaddy makes Roddy almost feel like hes an arabber, too, as if those long-ago days have come alive.
