Olivia is excited for the 62nd annual Main Street Block Party until a friend says Main Street is not safe. Suddenly, the place Olivia loves feels different, and she starts to wonder why people see her neighborhood that way.
Then Olivia learns from her neighbor Ms. Effie about redlining, a real history that hurt Black communities by denying families fair chances to buy homes and build futures. Ms. Effie’s memories show Olivia that Main Street has also always been full of neighbors who care, organize, and look out for one another.
Warm, intergenerational, and hopeful, Main Street introduces young readers to racism, community action, and resilience through one girl’s neighborhood story.
