The Gathering Table

"Imagine a warm welcoming tradition where family and friends come together. At the heart of this exuberant picture book is a simple wooden table in a lush outdoor setting. It’s here that generations of a Gullah Geechee community feast, honor and celebrate. Antwan Eady’s lyrical words swirl around, carrying the reader along, while London Ladd’s vibrant paintings jump off the page and then draw you in. Here, everyone has a place at the Gathering Table to share the love and pride, both past and present – plus a promise of a hopeful and joyous future. (For ages 4 to 8)"
