Shelly-Ann lives with her Granny on the beautiful island of Jamaica. When Shelly-Ann becomes hungry, she asks her Granny for something to eat. Granny tells her "Gyal, you betta can cook!" and teaches Shelly-Ann how to get in touch with her Jamaican roots through the process of cooking. As Shelly-Ann tries each recipe, everything goes wrong. But when Granny is too tired to cook one morning, Shelly-Ann will have to find the courage to try one more time and prepare the perfect Jamaican breakfast. Accompanied by Ken Daley' s vibrant, sun-soaked artwork, Sade Smith' s debut picture book Granny' s Kitchen is the perfect readaloud for budding chefs everywhere.
Praise for Granny' s Kitchen: Daley transports readers to Smith' s clearly cherished Jamaica with joyous Photoshop illustrations that suit the setting wonderfully in a vibrant tropical palette with bold pops of turquoise and fuchsia. This multigenerational homage to home cooking and heritage cuisine serves up a sweet message of confidence-building and can-do assurance. --BooklistDelivers the honesty, giggles, and punch . . . Daley' s digital illustrations, in eye popping hues of juicy fruit and turquoise sea, convey the easy give-and-take of the close-knit pair, with snazzy-spectacled Granny patiently cheerleading her determined but frustrated granddaughter through some rough culinary challenges. Shelly-Ann' s four recipes are included for foodie families to try together, and a page of fun facts on Jamaica are a bonus for armchair travelers. --Bulletin of the Center for Children' s Books(BCCB)Warm and inviting. Daley' s vibrant, highly saturated illustrations bolster the appeal and are sure to entice young readers--and perhaps encourage them to try their own hand in the kitchen. . . . A vibrant, upbeat story of a determined girl and her love of food. --Kirkus Reviews
