About this book

An ABC introduction to a little girls neighborhood in all its rich detail. M is for las muralistas making murals of island vistas. Waterfalls that hide brick walls. Rainforest full of tropical trees. N is for the noisy neighbors who sit on the stoop and catch the breeze. When Avas friend Chien visits her in the Barrio she takes him on a tour of all of her favorite things about the neighborhood. From fire hydrants to ice cream trucks bodegas to vacant lots the sights and sounds of the Barrio -- even the less perfect things -- come to life in the poetic words of Quiara Hudes author of the Tony Award-winning musical IN THE HEIGHTS.
