Cassie Louise Lightfoot has a dream: to be free to go wherever she wants for the rest of her life. One night, up on "tar beach," the rooftop of her family's Harlem apartment building, her dreams come true. The stars lift her up, and she flies over the city, claiming the buildings as her own. As Cassie learns, anyone can fly. "All you need is somewhere to go you can't get to any other way. The next thing you know, you're flying among the stars."
Winner of a Caldecott Honor, this magical story resonates with a universal wish. Tar Beach was originally written by Faith Ringgold for her story quilt of the same name, and is a seamless weaving of fiction, autobiography, and African American history.
