  Jacob Riis was determined to improve the living conditions of the poor—to fill their dark, ramshackle places with sunlight and soft, green grass. Places where children could play. After immigrating to New York City and working as a news reporter, Jacob was deeply affected by the poverty  
  surrounding him, especially in the tenements: 
   
  • Cramped rooms bursting with too many people  
  • Kerosene and mold stench choking the air  
  • Children playing in filthy streets 
   
  But how could Jacob inspire change? Using a special flash powder, Jacob Riis photographed the dark, overcrowded buildings and their impoverished residents, shining light in their rooms for the world to see—and changing the lives of tenement children and their families for the better.

  " As Harriett Foy guides listeners through the city at night, her voice is as warm as the sunny yellow interior scenes that contrast with the surrounding nighttime blues in this picture book. Its central character is a child of color who is going to bed as nighttime activity is carried out by a diverse group of adults with a variety of occupations...Background sound effects--car engines, sirens, a dog yapping--underscore the bustle."  AudioFile Magazine
