Granny’s Kitchen: A Jamaican Story of Food and Family

Accompanied by Ken Daley’s vibrant, sun-soaked artwork, Sadé Smith’s debut picture book Granny’s Kitchen is the perfect readaloud for budding chefs everywhere.

Shelly-Ann lives with her Granny on the beautiful island of Jamaica. When Shelly-Ann becomes hungry, she asks her Granny for something to eat. Granny tells her “Gyal, you betta can cook!” and teaches Shelly-Ann how to get in touch with her Jamaican roots through the process of cooking.

As Shelly-Ann tries each recipe, everything goes wrong. But when Granny is too tired to cook one morning, Shelly-Ann will have to find the courage to try one more time and prepare the perfect Jamaican breakfast.

Praise for Granny’s Kitchen:

“Warm and inviting. Daley’s vibrant, highly saturated illustrations bolster the appeal and are sure to entice young readers–and perhaps encourage them to try their own hand in the kitchen. … A vibrant, upbeat story of a determined girl and her love of food.” —Kirkus Reviews
