Tell Me a Story Mama
by Angela Johnson

"In this touching picture book, a mother and a preschool-aged daughter talk together as the child is being prepared for bed… . Mama’s childhood memories, as related by her daughter, are warm slices of life from a previous generation… . Simon’s vivid, lively watercolors capture the essence of the mood and message as they deftly portray the quotidian portraits of two generations of a black family".—School Library Journal, starred review.
