★ THE GATHERING TABLE from Antwan Eady and illustrator London Ladd is an “artfully rendered picture book” that follows “family members com[ing] together again and again—never leaving empty-handed”

Antwan Eady uses a family table at the center of a multigenerational African American family's outdoor celebrations from anniversaries, weddings, births to special holidays like Juneteenth. Gorgeous illustrations by London Ladd. #Booksky #Childrensbook #ReadRibbetReads #TheGatheringTable #AntwanEady
