In My Momma's Kitchen

In My Momma's Kitchen, written by Jerdine Nolen and illustrated by Colin Bootman. This is a story that I have shared with my reading case study student. The student was drawn to this story when she saw that the story was told though the view of a small black girl about the students' age, creating a portal through which she placed her own self image. The reason I had chosen this book for my case study student was because it had a portrayal of modern black families that was positive and fun, plus the little girl on the cover does look like my case study student. The book is about different mini stories that had happened in the family kitchen; some of the stories are funny, some are exciting, and some are just the small fond moments we have with our families. The pictures in this book are amazing, extremly life like illustrations. This book also allows an opening for a conversation about memories and family traditions.
