Auntie's Dance

We all need help sometimes, and together, we have everything we need.

An uplifting story of found family, mutual aid, and communal care among neighbors.

Auntie Lorna may not be Daddy or Momma's sister, but she's family all the same. She looks after Jack when Momma is at night school and Daddy works late.

"We can get very far in the world if neighbors help neighbors," Lorna always says. So when Jack and his parents realize Lorna can't afford to keep her lights on, they see their opportunity to help out in return. 

Winsome Bingham, author of the Coretta Scott King Honor-winning Soul Food Sunday, teams up with Coretta Scott King–John Steptoe Award-winning illustrator Briana Mukodiri Uchendu in Auntie’s Dance, a timely story of resilience, Black joy, and genuine community care.
