Summary:
The life of the author's great grandmother, a single parent who was a domestic worker in Alabama, is celebrated.
Teaching Ideas:
Students may want to reminisce--and then write about--things they did with their grandmothers, and teachers may want to collect these stories into a class book. Students may want to discuss (and list) weekly family routines. It pairs well with Gray's Dear Willie Rudd.
