  • Product Description

    Illus. in full color. "Ringgold recounts the dream adventure of

    eight-year-old Cassie Louise Lightfoot, who flies above her apartment-building

    rooftop, the 'tar beach' of the title, looking down on 1939 Harlem. Part

    autobiographical, part fictional, this allegorical tale sparkles with symbolic

    and historical references central to African-American culture. The spectacular

    artwork resonates with color and texture. Children will delight in the

    universal dream of mastering one's world by flying over it. A practical and

    stunningly beautiful book."--(starred) Horn Book.
