Summary: Soul Food for Children
Review: In My Momma's Kitchen is a collection of short stories that all relate to family unity and togetherness with the setting of each story involving the family kitchen. Each story contains different emotions or sentiments that children of all ages can relate to. The true to life oil painting illustrations enhances the message of each story while helping bring the stories to life. Jerdine Nolen has done an excellent job in producing a children's book that promotes family solidarity, as well allows older children and adults to reminisce and give tribute to the traditions that African Americans have within our "momma's kitchens." I would wholly recommend this book to add to the African American family library. My children and I look forward to exploring more works from this author.Reviewed by Latoya Carter-Qawiyy of

Summary: In My Momma's Kitchen was an exciting and warm story.
Review: In My Momma's Kitchen tells a story of a year's events in everybody's favorite room. A daughter's stories of all the good family things, that always seem to happen in her Momma's kitchen as she reminiscence. This story may spark a thought with children, that the most special and memorable times aren't necessarily outside the home and expensive, but can be found and made simply within the home and with family and friends (free of charge). Illustrations warm and friendly.

Summary: Momma's Kitchen is Delightful
Review: Momma's kitchen isn't just to cook in -- it's also a place to sing, to play, to reminisce, to get together, to share, to live and to love! Colin Bootman's oil paintings are perfect complements to these short, short stories. The story about Great Aunt Caroline is the cream in this kitchenful of stories!
