Description
The poignancy of two boys who can be friends only at night is revealed brilliantly in both text and rich watercolor art. Willie’s dad, a starter in the Negro leagues, expects that his son will pitch in the majors. Abe’s Jewish grandfather, a violinist in the old country before World War II, is sure that his grandson will be the next Jascha Heifetz. What neither man knows is that the boys have been sharing their talents across the alley at night.
