Summers in Mississippi is a heartwarming, lyrical celebration of childhood joy, rooted in the author's real-life memories of growing up in 1970s Greenville, Mississippi.Join six African American children, EC, Rod, Wayne, Shelia, Shun and Byron - known as The Hughes Street Crew - as they make mud pies, eat watermelon down to the rind, chase the ice cream truck, and play from sun-up to sundown under mimosa trees and wide-open skies.
Filled with vibrant illustrations and rhythmic storytelling, this read-aloud picture book captures the timeless spirit of community, friendship, and outdoor play.
Perfect for ages 4-8, Summers in Mississippi is a nostalgic love letter to Southern childhood, ideal for homes, classrooms, libraries, and anyone who remembers the magic of long, sun-soaked summer days.
