Publisher Description: Softly, quietly begins the day of the week that, for LaTasha, is always full of glorious sounds: the pipe organ, tambourine, and drum; the footfalls of ushers marching down the aisle of the sanctuary; the sweet harmonies of the choir; and the rich vibrato of the preacher's voice. LaTasha sings along with the congregation, confident that Heaven hears each joyful note. Sometimes funny, sometimes serious, Nikki Grimes' poems and the lush tapestry of colors in Michael Bryant's illustrations celebrate a day of worship viewed through the eyes of an exuberant little girl. |
