Okra Stew: A Gullah Geechee Family Celebration (HC)

Papa has something special planned for tonight's family dinner and Bobo can't wait. Eager to learn how to make okra stew like his ancestors, Bobo helps Papa pick and chop vegetables from the garden, catch shrimp from the creek, simmer the stew, and even make a tasty side of cornbread. It ends with a mouthwatering feast enjoyed by three generations of family members. 

Backmatter includes a brief origin of the Gullah Geechee people, words from the Gullah language and a recipe for Okra stew.
