Description
Coney Island Awakes: A Phoenix Arises is a unique and imaginative graphic fairytale that explores the rebirth of Coney Island during the COVID-19 quarantine. Thirty-three loose and playful drawings bring to life the iconic playground, capturing its transformation from deserted beach to vibrant destination. In this captivating story, Artist/Author Janet Morgan hears the voice of a lonely landmarked Parachute Jump, which begins to tell the tale of a Phoenix arising. The Phoenix is both the name of Coney Island's newest rollercoaster and the neighborhood's latest reincarnation as a summertime hotspot. As the old rides reopen, the laughs and screams return. Janet Morgan's artwork brings to life the wild and crazy history of Coney Island, where city folk touch the ocean and feel the vastness of the sky. With its themes of rebirth and resilience, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the story behind one of New York City's most iconic destinations.
