While the rhyming text can get a little clumsy, there's a lot of read-aloud appeal here as Shante Keys traverses the neighborhood trying to find black eyed peas for her family's traditional New Year's Day dinner and discovers lots of other food traditions along the way. The author's note at the end is very informative. The illustrations are bright and engaging.
Great read aloud for New Year's storytime!
Pictures are large and bright. Language rhymes without being too cutsie.

Shante Keys is celebrating New Years with her family but they don't have any black eyed peas. She is sent to her neighbors and relatives to find some peas but instead of finding peas she finds out about different cultures and how they celebrate their holidays. In the end one of her family members has some peas and Shante brings them home to cook.
Personal reaction
I like this book because it shows that we all are different. The children were a little confused at first but it gave us an interesting discussion at the end of the book.
Extension
We could us this book during New Year’s week. We could have a parent activity and have parents take pictures of their New Years and bring it to show and tell. We could make spray chalk as a class and go outside and make fireworks on the sidewalk.… (altro)
