Going Down Home with Daddy
by Kelly Starling Lyons, illustrated by Daniel Minter
This is a book about a family reunion, but it’s so much more than that. Rising before the sun, two children and their parents make the long drive to their grandmother’s house. When they arrive, they soak in the familiarity and enjoy the time with their relatives. There’s traditional family food, family memories, solemn talks about ancestors, and a special sharing of talents.
