FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. A child describes the family events, like making apple butter and having relatives visit, that center around Momma's kitchen.
"Seems like everything good that happens in my house happens in my momma's kitchen," begins the young narrator of this cozy picture-book collection of vignettes, set, appropriately, in the kitchen. There the girl's older sister, Nadene, announces she's won a scholarship to college; her aunts gather to cook and chat on "Talking Pots Day"; and Daddy sings "La Cucaracha" and does the cha-cha as he makes corn pudding. Employing her talent for comfortably paced storytelling and evocative description, Nolen (Harvey Potter's Balloon Farm) uses one- to three-page scenarios to evoke the rhythms and rituals of a close-knit, dynamic African-American family. Whether describing "Gran Lee," the old hand-me-down stove Momma would never part with, or a curious pet cat, Nolen's subtle details add color and depth to the proceedings. Bootman's (Oh, No, Toto!) softly lit, realistic oil portraits match the text's warm mood, capturing many tender moments between the narrator and her relatives. Art and text work together to transport readers to a place where abundant love and sweet memories are staples of daily fare. Ages 5-up. (Apr.) Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.|

In My Momma's Kitchen (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition)
This book shows traditions. The kitchen is an important place for most family and that is where traditions are. Children can talk/write about the traditions they have in there family and see if the tradition started in the kitchen. This book also shows the involvement of family. I would send this book home for family to read with each other. I think the illustrations of how loving the family are to each other will warm someone's heart.
