Overview
From Amber McBride, National Book Award finalist and Coretta Scott King-John Steptoe award-winning author, comes her debut picture book, a heartwarming story about one girl’s magick-filled summer with her grandmother. She learns about hoodoo and rootwork culture, the traditions of her African ancestors, and finding beauty in nature.
Roots are our ancestor’s Magick. Summer for Juniper has finally arrived, which means rootwork with Grandma can finally begin! It’s time to collect healing herbs into protective mojo bags; to fill mason jars with all the love, history, dirt, and magick one can fit. It’s time to talk to the tranquil willow trees and feel the soft earth between one’s toes; to hear Grandma share their ancestors’ stories, with her dog Shiloh underfoot.
From National Book Award finalist Amber McBride comes a loving story about rootwork, a powerful African spiritual practice, and the significance of familial connections and traditions, reminding us how sacred it is to reconnect with the people we love, the earth, one’s heritage, and the healing power that provides.
