Ringgold recounts the dream adventure of eight-year-old cassie louise lightfoot, who flies above her apartment-building rooftop, the 'Tar Beach' of the title, looking down on 1939 harlem. Part autobiographical, part fictional, this allegorical tale sparkles with symbolic and historical fiction references central to african-American culture.
