Family

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Janice Lee Porter. In this second book about Hope, the young girl and her family gather at her maternal aunt's farm for an annual reunion. Hope's contribution to the feast--pickles stuffed with peppermint candy--is a surprise from her father's side of the family. The lively illustrations, which depict Hope as biracial, are a fitting match for this story of a boisterous and loving African-American family. Recipes are included.
