Family reunions are extremely important in the African American community. Why do you think it's good to connect with your extended family?. Have you ever had to take a trip to see a relative? Did you wake up early, before the sun was up, and pack suitcases and a cooler full of snacks like Lil Alan? What was that experience like or what do you imagine that experience to be like?. Recommended by Caitlin Bockman | Children's Room Associateįor more information about author Kelly Starling Lyons, take a look at at the iRead: Kelly Starling Lyons blog post. This joyful picture book, a celebration of ritual and family, is beautifully illustrated by Coretta Scott King Honor winner Daniel Minter, with motion and emotion on every page. Lil Alan feels he has nothing to contribute, until he reflects on what it means to be ‘home with daddy’ and the rest of his family and finds his voice. 
Cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and siblings all are prepared to share the meaning of the homestead that has been in the family for generations. This 2020 Caldecott Honor book gently and proudly tells the story of Lil Alan and his family as they return to his father’s childhood home in the South to celebrate traditions and family history.
