“ In this touching picture book, a mother and preschool-aged daughter talk together as the child is being prepared for bed…. Mama’s childhood memories, as related by her daughter, are warm slices of life from a previous generation… Soman’s vivid, lively watercolors capture the essence of the mood and message as they deftly portray… two generations of a black family. Both language and art are full of subtle wit and rich emotion, resulting in a beautifully realized evocation of treasured childhood and family moments.” --- Starred review, School Library Journal 3/89
