My Day with the Panye written by Tami Charles and published by Candlewick received a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection!
This is a lovely story about a girl in Port Au Prince, who wants to carry the panye to the market like her mom and all the women in her family. My Day with the Panye is a about family, tradition and hope for the future. I really enjoyed illustrating this book, and I'm happy it's getting this recognition.
