Sponsored by When My Cousins Come to Town by Angela Shanté
A fun, lively story of Black family and cousin culture.
Every summer a young girl eagerly waits for her cousins to come visit and celebrate her birthday. Every cousin has a unique nickname… all except for the smallest cousin. But this year things are going to be different. This year before summer ends, she’s determined to earn her own nickname!
Filled with warmth, love, and laughter, When My Cousins Come to Town is proof that you don’t need to be anyone else to be special—being yourself is enough!
