When Alexander Graced the Table by Alexander Smalls, Denene Millner

5.0

Sundays are for church and family meals, and Alexander looks forward to helping cook every week. With an eye on impressing his dad, Alexander makes a dessert all by himself for Sunday dinner. A story about self belief and putting yourself out there, Alexander learns he can believe in himself. I didn't love the way Alexander's father tended to ignore him, and to get his attention he had to do something for his dad, but I think this opens the door for communication about the importance of being good enough for yourself.
