Collard Greens and Yams is a soul food odyssey that reveals a rhyming, rapping, toe-tapping story for all ages. Inspired by the 300-year-old African-American cultural treasure, Hambone, this book can be performed as a play, read responsively, sung, danced to, and used to teach people of all ages about history, culture, language, food, of course, nutrition, music, math, and the environment, among other things. In fact, Collard Greens and Yams is so nice, you will not be able to resist reading it (at least) twice! Comes with games and activities, too! Enjoy the journey!
