Summary: Country Livin¿
Comment: In this book we meet Little Cliff, a young boy growing up in the Mississippi Delta. He lives with his great-parents, Momma Pearl and Poppa Joe, while his mother teaches school. In this story, he is given a big responsibility, to go through the town and get butter for Momma Pearl to make her candied sweet potatoes in her "magic skillet". Cliff is anxious to get his job done, but along the way several "porch people", friends and neighbors who sit on their front porches and socialize, stop him, giving him their own ingredients for the potatoes. He eventually completes his task and has a huge dinner with his family and all of the "porch people". The illustrations in this book serve as a tribute to country life and the camaraderie amongst neighbors. I highly recommend this novel and it would be a welcome complement to any family library.

Summary: Little Cliff and the Porch People
Comment: Little Cliff and the Porch People is a lovely book with beautiful watercolor illustrations that capture the Mississippi Delta region. I believe that little people of all races will find this book enjoyable.
Little Cliff is a African-American boy in the south who is sent to run the errand of getting a special ingredient for his great-grandmother's candied sweet potatoes. His journey brings back sweet memories of days gone by. A time when neighbors would go out of their way to help each other and children were taught manners and respect for their elders.
