Why read it?

This is absolutely a new classic - an award-winning coming-of-age story about the Sunday a soul food cooking grandmother finally opens up her culinary secrets to the next generation. Winsome Bingham’s vivid language is perfectly matched with C.G. Esperanza’s electric illustrations.

And apparently, the mac n’ cheese recipe is on point, so don’t miss that.
From Alliah's list on The best kids books to celebrate Black summertime joy.
