"It was not their irritating assumption of equality that annoyed Nicholai so much as their cultural confusions. The Americans seemed to confuse standard of living with quality of life, equal opportunity with institutionalized mediocrity, bravery with courage, machismo with manhood, liberty with freedom, wordiness with articulation, fun with pleasure - in short, all of the misconceptions common to those who assume that justice implies equality for all, rather than equality for equals."
- Trevanian from the novel 'Shibumi'

| |  | | | In Brief
This is the story of Bidemmi, a child artist who draws people she seeson the subway and makes up stories about them. Her "first three accounts begin with someone leaving a subway train, carrying a small bag of cherries. . . . {Finally} Bidemmi herself becomes the central figure. Emerging from a subway staircase, she buys cherries from a vendor, plants the pits in her 'junky, old yard,' nurtures a little sprout, and coaxes a young tree into bloom and leaf. At last, . . . Bidemmi finds glorious ripe cherries hanging from the branches, enough for all her neighbors and 'even for their friends from Nairobi andBrooklyn, Toronto and St. Paul.'" (Horn Book) "Kindergarten to grade two."(SLJ)
| | | | From The Publisher
When Bidemmi starts to draw, her imagination takes off. Enter her world, look at her pictures, and watch her stories grow and grow. You will never forget her.
| | | | Annotation
"In this ingeniously executed series of stories within a story a young black child shares herself, her art, and cherries with the world . . . Watercolor illustrations perfectly complement the mood of the text."--Kirkus Reviews.
