"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.
