Inspired by actual events, the book recounts what happened in East Harlem, New York in 1969 when the activist Young Lords Organization united with residents to make positive neighborhood changes. The story follows Vicki and her older sister, Valencia, who live in East Harlem. Rotting garbage overwhelms the streets because city sanitation trucks rarely pick up the trash. Determined to change the situation, the Young Lords start sweeping the streets. Neighbors eagerly join them, and Vicki and Val also bring their brooms. "You're never too young to make a difference!" her sister says. Together they discover they too can help change their community and the world.
The beautifully illustrated English/Spanish book is for children 5 to 8 years old. It presents social justice themes in an accessible and age-appropriate way.
