Description
Graffiti.
Shapes moving in every direction, letters weaving in and out, bright colors jumping off of the wall.
It was like a language from another planet that only I could understand.
In this bright, colourful, and movement-filled picture book, a young girl moves with her family from the big city to a small town. She feels odd and out of place until a stroll down the street hits her with echoes from home: vibrant graffiti splashed against the wall. But when it's painted over that sense of belonging is lost, until an afternoon's adventure shows her that street art can be found everywhere - as well as a sense of home.
