ABOUT: “The Gathering Table” by Antwan Eady, London Ladd The author of Nigel and the Moon delivers a joyful picture book about how a Southern family gathers around a special table for year-round celebrations that highlight the importance of family, community, and coming together. In my family, there are traditions. And my favorite— happen around this table. No matter the season, no matter the reason, the love that surrounds this boy’s family table is palpable and neverending. From a golden anniversary to Juneteenth, a special wedding to a new baby sister, here is a family that never forgets to come together and celebrate what it truly means to be there for each other. Heartfelt illustrations complement the lyrical text in this poignant picture book that reveals how Gullah Geechee culture contributes to a family’s love, and reminds us the importance of building community one gathering at a time.
