When it's hot enough to burst fire hydrants, that only means one thing: summer is finally here! Released from school and enjoying their freedom, the children of a Brooklyn block make the streets their playground. From morning to night, they create their own fun, let their imaginations run wild, and learn to work and play together. It's a world where anything is possible... at least until their mothers call them home for dinner. But there is no need to worry: they know that there is always a tomorrow to do it again, because the street belongs to them and they rule their world.

Bursting with energy, the rhythmic text and vivid illustrations by Jacqueline Woodson and Leo Espinosa gloriously capture the joy and freedom of summer, as well as the growth that comes with independence.

Spanish Description: Cuando hace tanto calor como para hacer estallar los hidrantes, eso solo significa una cosa: ¡por fin llegó el verano! Liberados de la escuela y disfrutando de su libertad, los niños de una cuadra de Brooklyn hacen de las calles su patio de recreo. Desde la mañana hasta la noche, crean su propia diversión, dejan volar su imaginación y aprenden a trabajar y jugar juntos. Es un mundo donde todo es posible… al menos hasta que sus madres los llamen a casa para cenar. Pero no hay que preocuparse: saben que siempre hay un mañana para volver a hacerlo, porque la calle les pertenece y ellos gobiernan en su mundo. Rebosante de energía, el texto rítmico y las vívidas ilustraciones de Jacqueline Woodson y Leo Espinosa capturan gloriosamente la alegría y la libertad del verano, así como el crecimiento que conlleva la independencia.
