This love letter to New York City shows Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani as he walks through all five boroughs and celebrates the people and places that make the city great.

Zohran Mamdani has walked through the streets of New York City since he was a child, and at every crosswalk, there’s something new to celebrate. From a Mets game at Citi Field to a polar bear plunge at Coney Island, the city is filled with adventures waiting to be had. This joyful picture book for ages 4–8 is inspired by his noted thirteen-mile mayoral campaign walk.
