Publisher Description: Blue lost one boy to the streets and is determined that this time will be different. And Damon knows that even though he's the man of the house, there's room for a friend like Blue in his life. At the end of the day, Damon has someone standing steadfast in his corner. Someone true . . . like Blue. Nikki Grimes's moving poems and Jerome Lagarrigue's bold paintings create an emotional and realistic bond of friendship between a man and a boy in a rough world. |
