Newbery Honor winner Patricia C. McKissack and fellow Coretta Scott King Honor recipient, the venerable African-American illustrator Floyd Cooper, collaborate on this powerful pictorial tribute to the author`s great-grandmother. Ma Dear`s Aprons shares memories of the hard work, inspiration and hope of the turn-of-the-20th century in the American South. David Earl`s mama works hard every day of the week - he knows it because of her many aprons. Monday`s blue apron means washing - Tuesday`s yellow apron means ironing. But happily, Sunday always comes around, which means some no-apron, no-work special time for a mother and her beloved little boy! | Ma Dear's Aprons by Patricia C.
