(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Nneka Bennett. When André makes the third-grade honor roll, his lunch-lady mom breaks her promise to him because she can't afford to suddenly "drop everything and throw a royal party." André's family's resourcefulness gives him strength to hang on until Friday, when Mama gets paid and a real (versus imaginary) celebration is possible. Playful dialogue and unfussy watercolors nicely convey the unconditional love sustaining this family.
