Overview / 简介: |
A portrait of a local hero
All the neighborhood kids agree that Billy Boyd's grandmother is a wonder. She can build freight trains and spaceships, she knows intergalactic code, and she even plays kickball. Best of all are those hot summer evenings when Big Mama treats the whole gang to ice cream. Woody's ice-cream stand is all the way across town, and with Big Mama in the lead, the journey there and back again is always full of adventure.
In this warm, affectionate book, lush and lively illustrations are filled with amusing details of small-town life. |

Inspired by neighbors in the western Kentucky community where Crunk grew up, this story features Big Mama, who brings up her orphaned grandson, Billy, and opens her heart and home to all his friends in the neighborhood. Big Mama encourages the kids' imaginations, joins in their games, makes them take responsibility for their mistakes, and turns a late-afternoon trip to the ice-cream stand into a memorable trek through town. They stop to help the good folk, hurry past the other folk, and walk home through the magical twilight. Apple's softly shaded drawings reflect the warmth of the text. Full of action and lively details, they include a boy with braces on his legs, sometimes in a wheelchair, who is just one of the gang. As the day fades into night, changes in light are subtly reflected in the well-drawn illustrations. There's a sense of musical rhythms underlying the broad sweep of each picture composition as well as the poses of individuals in the colorful double-page spreads. A quiet, satisfying picture book with a small-town setting and a big heart. |

Big Mama is a wonderful story about a special grandmother who not only provides love and teaches responsibility to her orphaned grandson Billy, but to all his friends as well. The words of author Tony Crunk accompanied by the lovely illustrations by Margot Apple combine to tell the adventures of Big Mama and the group of racially and ethnically mixed children who share a common bond, friendship. Big Mama allows the children to use their imaginations in their make believe games even joining in with them. Big Mama teaches the children that they are responsible for their actions. The big event of the day is the trip to Woody's for ice cream. Along the way, Big Mama and the children stop to visit neighbors while helping them with their chores, scurry past the neighborhood bullies, and make the trek back with Big Mama out front leading the children safely home. A small town story with a big hearted message.
