About this book
From her family’s Harlem rooftop, Cassie Louise Lightfoot imagines flying above the city and claiming the places she passes over. Faith Ringgold brings the city and the family together through a story that grew out of her quilt art. Cassie’s flight makes room for a child’s ideas about work, freedom, and what her family deserves.
