FROM SARAH:

You know I love a picture book biography! Bernette Ford tells the true story of visiting her uncle’s tiny garden tucked away in a big city, and she discovers the magic hidden inside every seed. Together with her family, she learns that sometimes there’s nothing better than watering, weeding and waiting for love to grow.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

How does this city garden grow? With help from L’il Sissy and her siblings--and love, love, love! A celebration of nature, family, and food.

FROM SARAH:

I think the most incredible thing about food is that it’s far more than a collection of flavors; it can hold memories, history, and belonging. Like a good story, it can hold us. This beautifully told and richly illustrated picture book is a heartfelt tribute to community, culture, and the power of food to carry history forward. This nourishing read reminds us that what we share at the table can help shape who we are.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Told in lively and powerful verse by debut author Kevin Noble Maillard, Fry Bread is an evocative depiction of a modern Native American family, vibrantly illustrated by Pura Belpre Award winner and Caldecott Honoree Juana Martinez-Neal.
