Ma Dear's Aprons

Más información sobre el libro

The narrative centers on young David Earl, who associates each day of the week with the vibrant aprons worn by his mother, Ma Dear, reflecting their daily routines. From the blue apron for washing on Monday to the carefree Sunday without an apron, the story captures the warmth of their bond and the simplicity of their life in turn-of-the-century Southern America. Through this collaboration, Patricia McKissack and Floyd Cooper beautifully depict the experiences of a single African-American mother and her son, highlighting themes of family and tradition.
