Chicken Sunday by Patricia Polacco
4.0
A children's story of tolerance and reaching out.
My Take
This was so sweet. A loving gramma who opened her heart and home and encouraged the children to open theirs. A hatmaker who was open to truths and his own heart of gold.
The Story
Stewart and Winston are brothers to a little red-haired Russian girl and they happily share their gramma, Eula Mae Walker, with her. Sometimes on Sundays she would go to the Baptist church with them and follow it with a fried chicken dinner.
They love Gramma so much that the threesome decides to find a way to let her know how much they love her and this is where the gist of the story lies.
The Cover
The cover has a white background with the children's clothes sketched in outline form and their faces and hair done in pastels. Gramma is in full color in her softly vibrant pink dress and framed by the loving children.
The title is accurate as most Sundays are a Chicken Sunday. Dang, I'm getting hungry just thinking about that chicken!
