The World Belonged to Us

5-6 岁语言与阅读书籍

About This Book

On a summer day in Brooklyn, kids pour out of their apartments to play in the streets and parks — double dutch, freeze tag, water hydrants. Jacqueline Woodson's lyrical text captures the freedom of unstructured outdoor play.

Why This Age

The community, independence, and nostalgia themes suit 5-6 year olds beginning to play more independently.

How to Use

  • Go outside and play after reading — jump rope, run, get wet
  • Talk about what summer felt like when you were a kid
  • Notice the diverse neighborhood — who do you see?
