Luis Paints the World

Luis Paints the World by Farish, Terry. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781467757966.

Luis wishes Nico wasnt leaving for the Army. To show Nico he doesnt need to go, Luis begins a mural on the alleyway wall. Their house, the river, the Parque de las Ardillas―its the world, all right there. Wont Nico miss Mamis sweet flan? What about their baseball games in the street? But as Luis awaits his brothers return from duty, his own world expands as well, through swooping paint and the help of their bustling Dominican neighborhood.
