Soul Food Sunday by Winsome Bingham Illustrated by C.G. Esperanza

Hi little readers! In this heartwarming episode, we follow the story of a young boy who chooses to stay in the kitchen with his grandma on Soul Food Sunday, rather than play outside with his cousins. As they prepare creamy mac and cheese, tender collard greens, and slice the meats, he learns the value of patience and perseverance, even when he gets a little tired. Grandma’s gentle encouragement teaches him that cooking is about more than just food—it’s about love, family, and tradition. By the end of the day, he not only realizes the deep connection formed in the kitchen, but also surprises his family with a special contribution of his own. This episode celebrates the joy of family, the power of perseverance, and the beauty of passing down traditions.
