Going Down Home with Daddy
“On reunion morning, we rise before the sun. Daddy hums as he packs our car with suitcases and a cooler full of snacks. He says there’s nothing like going down home”
Down home is Granny’s house. It’s where Lil Alan will gather with parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. It’s where Lil Alan hears the stories of their ancestors and visits the lands that mean so much to them. It’s where all the children will find their special way to pay tribute to their family history. Every child has to decide what they will share, but what will Lil Alan do?

“It’s so rare for a children’s book to teach the reader about honoring tradition and going behind in time to the people who lived before us. This award-winning book is diverse and one of a kind. It’s a picture of a multi-generational family through time. It’s beautiful.”
