What's Cooking, Jamela?

32 pp. | Farrar | August, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-374-35602-5 $$16.00
(2) PS After feeding and caring for the family's Christmas chicken, Jamela (Jamela's Dress) can't bear to see it boiled up for dinner and so sneaks out with the chicken. Predictable mayhem ensues when the chicken gets away, but Mama's undertanding makes everything right. The heart of the story is the girl's emotions. This well-focused picture book set in a South African town features lively illustrations that capture Jamela's spirit.
