An anthology of a wide range of African-American literature including folklore, history, poetry, and biography, all intended to be read aloud to children.
In a variation on the story of the Little Red Hen, Tiny Tilda cannot get her sisters to help her plant a pumpkin seed, water and harvest it, or make it into a pie--so she does not share the fruit of her labor with them. Includes a recipe for pumpkin pie.
