Ilse is going to love feast, a special event at her grandmother’s church. But she’s annoyed because her big sister, Lina, always gets to do everything first. This is a story of sisters—and also a dad who understands and a church that widens its circle.
For the story in this children’s picture book, writer Gimbiya Kettering draws on her experience growing up in the Church of the Brethren, her sensitivity as the mother of two girls, and her nuanced understanding of a multiracial family finding meaning in the traditions of faith. Ages 4-8.
