Pecan Pie Baby

Oh, it's hard for things to change and when you're little one of the hardest can be the arrival of a "ding-dang baby." Right now that baby is still swimming in Mama and that baby loves pecan pie. But, one day when snow comes, that baby will show up and the "good old days" will be over. Through the eyes of the child who is fearful of the inrusion of this new bundle of joy, we experience how the baby is already everywhere. The teacher at school reads a new baby story, the kids jump rope to a new baby jingle and all the aunts and uncles talk about one thing. The new baby. Can there be room for one more? As always when it's Jacqueline Woodson writing, the book is filled with great heart and empathy for a young spirit. 32 pages
