Old man Joseph never imagined a family could start this way. When hefinds a baby abandoned on a lonely L.A. street, he vows to raise it as hisown.

Even in the darkest barrio, there is love.

Illustrated by Caldecott-Honor Medal winnerCarol Byard and beautifully told by TonyJohnston, Angel City is a moving tribute to thestrength of family no matter its form.
