Soul Food Sunday. Winsome Bingham. Illustrated by C.G. Esperanza. 2021. 48 pages. [Source: Library]
First sentence: On Sundays, everyone gathers at Granny's for soul food.
Premise/plot: This picture book celebrates a young boy's first lesson in cooking soul food. Though soul food had been a part of his life forever (presumably). This Sunday, he's deemed old enough to join his Granny in the kitchen. He is helping and observing. Many members of the family are taking part in the cooking and preparing of the meal.
My thoughts: Definitely enjoyed this one! It is going to be quite a meal they share together. And anticipation builds with each spread. The book celebrates family, fellowship, traditions, food and cooking, and growing up. I thought the narration was great.
