PICTURE BOOKS
Woodson, Jacqueline

Pecan Pie Baby

(1) K-3 Illustrated by Sophie Blackall. Gia, "thinking about all the years it had been just me and Mama," isn't looking forward to the "ding-dang baby." Gia's narrative voice is prime Woodson--lyrical, colloquial, and imbued with the authentic feelings of a child. Blackall's smooth-edged, Chinese ink and watercolor illustrations dramatize the story's familiar yet comforting message about change, delivered here with unusual warmth and grace.
