Okra Stew: A Gullah Geechee Family Celebration
Hardcover – Picture Book, October 10, 2023
by Natalie Daise (Author, Illustrator)
This rhythmic, joyous picture book from Natalie Daise, the co-star of the hit Nickelodeon show "Gullah Gullah Island," celebrates a special day of father-son cooking, and serves up a love letter to food, family, Gullah Geechee culture, and tradition―and includes the author's own recipe!
Papa has something special planned for tonight’s family dinner―and Bobo can’t wait! Excited to learn how to make okra stew like his ancestors, Bobo helps Papa pick veggies from the garden, catch shrimp from the creek, rain down rice in the pot, simmer the stew, and even make a tasty side of cornbread. When the stew begins to bubble and pop, Bobo and his family gather around for a mouthwatering feast. Perfect for fans of Fry Bread, My Papi Has a Motorcycle, and Thank You, Omu!
* "A loving family, a verdant garden, and Gullah Geechee traditions are key ingredients to this delightful stew of a story.'" ―Kirkus, starred review
