Magritte's Marvelous Hat - D.B. Johnson

Laundry Day - Maurie J. Manning
In turn-of-the-twentieth-century New York City, a shoeshine boy tries to find the owner of a piece of red cloth, venturing up and down fire escapes, back and forth across clotheslines, and into the company of the diverse people who live in the tenement buildings.
