I Live in Brooklyn

Mari Takabayashi. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH), $16 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-618-30899-6

A year's worth of daily activities fills I Live in Brooklyn by Mari Takabayashi, a companion to I Live in Tokyo. A girl who lives with her family in Brooklyn's Carroll Gardens takes readers through her routines (chasing the B75 bus each morning with her mother) and special events, such as trips to the Central Park Zoo and Coney Island, as she lists her favorite urban sights and smells.
