S is for Soul Food

From black-eyed peas to mac n’ cheese, the alphabet has never tasted this good. This ABC book is a joyful celebration of African American cuisine!

What's cooking when S is for Soul Food? Cornbread, collard greens, gumbo, and every dish that's been passed around the table for generations. Social justice artist Devon Blow introduces little readers to the foods at the heart of African American cuisine, one letter and one dish at a time.

From A to Z, each page pairs a letter with a dish kids will recognize from their own kitchens or can't wait to taste for the first time. Blow’s bold, graphic art celebrates the Sunday dinners, the community, and the love that make up Soul Food – with a capital S! A handful of family recipes in the back invites readers to cook their way through the alphabet, too.

A loving introduction to Black food culture for the youngest readers.
