At night, Jacuzzi cares for his baby brother, makes a blender cyclone, ponders life, and waits for mamaâ??s arrival home.
The first children's book from multi-genre artist Purnell, a 2018 winner of the Whiting Award, sweetly portrays a common but rarely narrated childhood experience--having a single parent and taking care of a younger sibling. Full color.
Countering stereotypes of the irresponsible single Black mother or the delinquent Black youth, this book showcases Jacuzzi’s love for his baby brother and their special time together....This book is funny, smart, surprising, and irreverent.
