“Weekdays are for school. Saturday’s for having fun. But Sunday is the Lord’s Day. Sunday is for God.” So begins the text of a child-centered picture book about the special Sunday rituals of one Christian, African American family. From sunrise to sunset, the story’s narrative stays true to a young child’s experience as he participates in the family’s activities: dressing up for church, having to sit still, and listening to prayers, hymns, and preaching he doesn’t entirely understand. Through it all he takes his cues from his mother, father, and grandfather, following their lead. He ultimately feels like his grandpa, “not laughing and smiling happy, just quiet happy.” Distinctive acrylic paintings use pieces of paper from hymnals and prayer books as a collage medium.
