Homemade Love
Her Mama calls her Girlpie -- a sweet treat, homemade with love. And when Girlpie makes a mistake, her mother and father let her pick up the pieces and make everything right again. Shane W. Evans' resplendent artwork teems with "homemade love," one of the tender nicknames award-winning author bell hooks gives her young heroine.
"Evans's folksy paintings, done in bright primary colors, are wonderful, with an appealing, dark-skinned, large-eyed little girl wearing dresses decorated with patterns that reflect the story. The artist fills up the pages so completely that readers only see the parents from the waist down for the first half of the book." -- School Library Journal

Description
"hooks' latest picture book is an elemental celebration of children and African American pride.... hooks' simple messages of unconditional love and safety will reassure children, and kids just learning to puzzle out words will enjoy the oversize, friendly type. But it's Evans' paintings that are most noteworthy, especially a beautiful spread that sings with contentment, joy, and love in which the girl delights in kisses from both parents as she spreads her arms high, ready to soar." -- Booklist
