Down on the Sidewalk : Stories about Children and Childhood from the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction Paperback / softback

Edited by Ethan Laughman

Part of the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

Front porches, family cars, playgrounds, swimming pools: from such familiar haunts of childhood, these stories look out on the world through young eyes and hearts.

Wise beyond their years - or soon to be - Ruthie, Omar, J.J., and the other kids in these stories veer in and out of touching distance to hard lessons about trust, love, and mortality.

However engaged or aloof, grownups are always nearby.

Far-from-perfect emissaries to the realm of adulthood, they pose questions for children even as they offer answers.
