But summer doesn’t start until her lola-her grandmother from the Philippines-comes for her annual visit.
In an evocative picture book brimming with the scents, tastes, and traditions that define a young girl’s summer with her grandmother, debut author Michelle Sterling and illustrator Aaron Asis come together to celebrate the gentle bonds of familial love that span oceans and generations.įor one young girl, summer is the season of no school, of days spent at the pool, and of picking golden limes off the trees. Inspired by this song's enduring significance, Kelly Starling Lyons and Keith Mallett tell a story about the generations of families who gained hope and strength from the song's inspiring words. It has been sung during major moments of the Civil Rights Movement and at family gatherings and college graduations. Mothers and fathers passed it on to their children who sang it to their children and grandchildren. From that moment on, the song has provided inspiration and solace for generations of Black families. In Jacksonville, Florida, two brothers, one of them the principal of a segregated, all-black school, wrote the song "Lift Every Voice and Sing" so his students could sing it for a tribute to Abraham Lincoln's birthday in 1900. Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us. Just in time for the 120th anniversary of the song "Lift Every Voice and Sing"-this stirring book celebrates the Black National Anthem and how it inspired five generations of a family. This book will be released in October 2020.
