Illustrated by
Charly Palmer
The sun lights the sky over the Bronx Bright orange and yellow The smell of freshly baked bread in the air from the Bakery up the street The rattle of a fruit stand below
Rising up from the corner blowHonking horns, salsa, and hip-hop music The beeping of a truck that towsMy Bronx is a world of many colors and soundsShapes and sizes that are bright and bold
My name is Ava MurrayI am 8 years old
Mornings with Mommy include the newsImages and words I don’t always catchViews from the outside inI think these are stories about my homeBut how I feel and what I see don’t always match
A girl about my age flashes on screenIt looks like adults are just being meanShe did something against the rulesPainting pretty picturesThat make plain walls sparkle like jewels
