All of Ann Cameron's Huey and Julian stories are great. Full of humor and imagination, they portray African American families dealing with everyday life in positive ways. Huey has a wild imagination and a lot of determination. Children will identify with his desire to right the wrongs of the world, from dying sunflowers in the garden, to his Dad's smoking habit, and yet young readers can laugh a little at Huey's imaginative approaches that inevitably land him ,is older brother Julian, and neighbor, Gloria, in hot water with the grown ups. My kids and I love these books. ( )
