**Accompanied by Ken Daley's vibrant, sun-soaked artwork, Sadé Smith's
debut picture book Granny's Kitchen is the perfect readaloud for
budding chefs everywhere.
**
Shelly-Ann lives with her Granny on the beautiful island of Jamaica.
When Shelly-Ann becomes hungry, she asks her Granny for something to
eat. Granny tells her "Gyal, you betta can cook!" and teaches Shelly-Ann
how to get in touch with her Jamaican roots through the process of
cooking.
As Shelly-Ann tries each recipe, everything goes wrong. But when Granny
is too tired to cook one morning, Shelly-Ann will have to find the
courage to try one more time and prepare the perfect Jamaican breakfast.
Praise for Granny's Kitchen:
"Warm and inviting. Daley's vibrant, highly saturated illustrations
bolster the appeal and are sure to entice young readers--and perhaps
encourage them to try their own hand in the kitchen. ... A vibrant,
upbeat story of a determined girl and her love of food." --Kirkus
