So begins author Lester Laminack's poetic memory of the adult who
made him feel incredibly special--his grandmother. Every Saturday,
the narrator, a young boy, rides his bicycle up and down country
roads past farms, a grave-yard, and a filling station, until he
reaches his beloved Mammaw's house. She is waiting for him. No one
else, just him. While she picks tomatoes, he pushes the lawnmower
through the dew-we grass. Afterwards, he always helps her make
teacakes from scratch, breaking the eggs and stirring the batter.
But the best part, he remembers, is eating the hot, sweet cookies
fresh from the oven. Children will understand the special love
between the boy and his grandmother. Set in a small own in the
"Leave It to Beaver days of the mid-sixties, the story evokes a
gentler and more innocent time and place. Young readers will almost
hear the crunch of bicycle wheels on gravel and the
"criiick-craaack-criick of a metal glider in Laminack's richly
detailed prose. Award-winning illustrator Chris Soentpiet's images
beautifully capture the relationship and the place, perfectly
depicting the simplicity of an earlier time.
