Description

This package includes a poetry collection and an award-winning children's book. Both books are signed by the author, noted poet Willie Perdomo, a regular performer at Manhattan's famed Nuyorican Poets Cafe.

Where a Nickel Costs a Dime is a collection of poetry about Spanish Harlem. According to Publisher's Weekly, the book draws "on rap, jazz, Langston Hughes and the rhythms of the streets...."

The Coretta Scott King Award-winning children's book,Visiting Langston, tells the story of a little girl and her father who visit the house where acclaimed African-American poet Langston Hughes lived. This beautifully illustrated story is a great introduction to the legendary writer.
