Aunt Flossie's Hats and Crab Cakes Later

A lyrical celebration of Black families and family history based on the author's own memories of her great-aunt, with lush illustrations by James E. Ransome.

Sunday afternoons are Sarah and Susan's favorite time of the week. That's when they visit Great-great-aunt Flossie and her memorable collection of hats--and hear her stories about days of long ago, when she was young. At times touching and poignant, laced with light humor, Aunt Flossie's stories give readers a peek into moments in Baltimore's history and a family who loves spending time together.
