Illustrated by
Annie Lee.
One word sums up the narrator's experience at church: exuberance! The rhythmic prose describes a child's watchful observance of her mama's rapture and uninhibited praise-filled response during Sunday worship. Both text and illustrations are abstract (all characters are without facial features), and readers unfamiliar with the tradition will benefit greatly from the author and illustrator's notes.
