Justin and the Best Biscuits in the World by Catherine Stock, Mildred Pitts Walter

4.0

I liked this sweet story about a young Black boy and his relationship with his grandfather. It's clearly a story of a different time, written and taking place in the 1940's, but the narrative of a Black grandfather modeling masculinity for his grandson and the loving relationship the two central characters share is as relevant today as ever.

cw: outdated gender stereotypes, graphic violence to animals (killing/eating, entertainment-type abuse), discussion of historic racism/enslavement (Black child and grandparent reading about Black history together)
