Description
In this moving book from multi-award-winning author Jacqueline Woodson, a young girl and her grandmother prepare for a very special day - the one day a month they get to visit the girl's father in prison. "Only on visiting day is there chicken frying in the kitchen at 6 a.m., and Grandma in her Sunday dress, humming soft and low." As the little girl and her grandmother get ready, her father, who adores her, is getting ready, too, and listeners get to join the community of families who make the trip together, as well as the triumphant reunion between father and child, all told in Woodson's trademark lyrical style.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"This poignant picture book chronicles a joyful girl narrator's hard-to-bear anticipation and special preparations for a journey with her grandmother to see her father.... A shared feeling of hope and tenderness pervades each spread." (Publishers Weekly)
"Woodson stays firmly planted in the perspective of a sentient young child who is comforted by the familiarity of her world." (Children's Literature)
"The text is spare, gentle, and reassuring." (School Library Journal)
