The picture book debut of award-winning novelist Jacqueline Woodson. Picnics are a joyful affair for every child. Teeka fondly recalls her family picnic held just this Sunday past. Everyone was there. From her doting grandmother to mean old cousin Terrance to Bible-toting Reverend Luke to Auntie Kim (Teeka‘s all-time favorite). And they were all dreading the arrival of Cousin Martha and her pie, which was always a bit on the dry side. (Though you had to eat every bite of it so as not to hurt her feelings). Through Teeka‘s eyes readers will discover the humor, love, and, of course, the wonderful food that make up the quintessential family picnic.
