When Grandma Lena grows the
“biggest, fattest, most gigantic turnip she has ever laid eyes on,” she
can’t get the stubborn turnip out of the ground until the whole family
chips in to help. Grandma Lena then works late into the night preparing
turnip stew. The next day the whole neighborhood joins in to help fill
the enormous whole left by the turnip and share in Grandma’s traditional
African-American “soul food” meal. Filled with lively, expressive
characters and illustrations, this charming tale features themes of
cooperation within a multi-generational family. Softcover, 32 pages.
