(2) K-3 Illustrated by Frank Morrison. “Tastes like home when family meet; / a bond so warm, so strong, so sweet.” These lines are repeated throughout this inviting book about a Black family gathering for a holiday meal. Weatherford captures the love and excitement as a large extended family heads to Big Ma and Pops’s rowhouse in an unnamed city for food (turkey, ham, collard greens, candied yams, etc.) and fellowship. Morrison’s oil paint illustrations, primarily in fall shades, do a particularly good job of showcasing the children in the family as they dart in and out of the kitchen and “beg to lick the bowl.”
