My Feet Are Laughing

My name is Sadie

and I live in Harlem

with my mother

and my little sister, Julie.

Sadie likes living in her grandmother's brownstone, where she has her own bedroom and a backyard to play in. She's full of thoughts and has lots to say about her family and friends, her home, her hair, and her laughing feet that can't keep still. And when she grows up she plans on being a poet.

This collection of sixteen exuberant poems in the voice of a young Dominican American girl and energetic, bright paintings celebrates Sadie's family and the city around her.

My Feet Are Laughing is a 2007 Bank Street — Best Children's Book of the Year.
