Jerome Pumphrey

A tender tale of a boy and his grandfather taking their produce to sell at the last market stand. When the older man is too tired to go, the boy delivers the produce to their regular customers who in turn, bring a meal made with the produce to the farm. Descriptive language is enhanced by colorful, effective illustration created by handmade stamps.

You’re invited to a party for the late and ever-great poet of the Harlem Renaissance, Langston Hughes, held at the Schomburg Library in New York and attended by Maya Angelou and Amiri Baraka. Inspired by a photograph, the author’s lively rhythmic language combines with illustrations made of handmade stamps for a party to enjoy again and again.
