About this listen
Aunts, uncles, cousins, all pitch in.
Hustle, bustle in the kitchen.
Catching up, shooting the breeze,
sharing stories and recipes.
When it comes to a family feast, it’s all hands on deck! Big Ma and Pops have been up early in anticipation of everyone’s arrival. Aunts, uncles, and cousins gather from all over to help prepare their big meal. Clanging pots, chopping vegetables, sharing recipes, and swiping little treats are part of the fun! After the cooking is done, all of the relatives come together to pray, eat, and enjoy their special moment as a family.
Newbery Honor and Children's Literature Legacy Award winner Carole Boston Weatherford delivers a heartwarming peek at the love and the chaos that ensue when a family comes together and connects through food.
