| Description: |
A young girl complains that she is tired of living on a rice farm, until her grandmother reminds her of all their blessings and coaxes her into helping to make a pie for her father. Includes recipe. |
| Synopsis: |
Nana, in the endearing way of grandmothers, tells Sara of the importance ofrice for their family and explains why her pa has to work so long and hard.Sara, reluctant at first, slowly begins to listen to the story and actually toparticipate in telling it. Together, they make a delicious, sweet rice pie, and, soon, the two are singing a song that spans the generations of their family.Now anyone can make sweet rice pie by following the recipe included in thisbook.The vivid artwork captures not only the story but the mood behind the storyin its warm simplicity of style. Yet, each page utilizes an innovativestory-telling mechanism. Atop of each page is a small band of illustration, witha gingham-framed picture at each end. While the main illustrations depict theaction of the story, the top treatment serves to illustrate what the charactersare thinking and talking about. The effect is to convey a wordless narrativethat is woven seamlessly throughout the book, which raises the story to acompletely different level.Laurie Lazzaro Knowlton is also the author of Why Cowboys Sleep withTheir Boots On and Why Cowboys Need a Brand, bothpublished by Pelican. She currently resides in Medina, Ohio.Joyce Haynes, a resident of Pineville, Missouri, has won numerous local, state, and national awards for her illustrations. Her illustrated books includeEyr the Hunter, When the Great Canoes Came, andA Good Soup Attracts Chairs, all published by Pelican. |
