A 2022 Coretta Scott King BookAward Illustrator Honor Book

On Sundays, everyone gathers at Grannys for Soul Food.
But today, I dont go to the backyard or the great room.
I follow Granny instead.
Youre a big boy now, Granny says. Time for you to learn.

At Grannys, Sunday isnt Sunday without a big family gathering over a lovingly prepared meal. Old enough now, our narrator is finally invited to help cook the dishes for the first time: He joins Granny in grating the cheese, cleaning the greens, and priming the meat for Roscoe Rays grill. But just when Granny says theyre finished, her grandson makes his own contribution, sweetening this Sunday gatheringand the many more to come.
Evocatively written and vividly illustrated, this mouthwatering story is a warm celebration of tradition and coming together at a table filled with love and delicious food.
