Saturdays and Teacakes

By Lester L. Laminack

Book Overview

A lyrical picture book memoir of one boy and his beloved grandmother, from award-winning author Lester L. Laminack.

Every Saturday, a young boy rides his bicycle up and down country roads, past farms and a filling station, until he reaches his Mammaw's house. She is waiting for him. There, the young boy helps her. She picks tomatoes and he pushes the lawnmower through the dew-wet grass. But the best part of the day is helping his Mammaw make teacakes from scratch and eating the hot, sweet cakes fresh from the oven.

Lester L. Laminack's richly detailed prose perfectly portrays the special relationship of a young boy and his grandmother. Award-winning illustrator Chris Soentpiet's remarkably detailed watercolor images beautifully capture the setting.

Customer Reviews

Lovely visit to the past 😊

This story of a young boy visiting his Mammaw is delightful. The illustrations are so warm & cozy. I am a teacher (elementary) & this book is a fun way to introduce what a personal narrative is, while taking a "Memory Lane" trip to the old days. 😊
