A rollicking celebration of Black joy, featuring playtime fun from award-winning author Nikki Grimes and illustrator Elizabeth Zunon

A child's job is to play-Mom knows this and makes sure they're up and ready to get to work! When it comes to play, this kid is an expert. Mom watches as they dance in puddles, swing high, jump into piles of leaves, and make snow angels. They're hard at work, and when Daddy comes home, they play even more!
