But Mummy is always busy helping everyone else and their children! Day by day, the narrator recalls what it was like growing up with her mother, who was a nanny, as well as a friend, baker, maker, teacher, cleaner and more. As the youngest in her family, the girl stayed home and helped amuse the children her mother looked after. She went along on trips to the Caribbean greengrocer in their Brooklyn neighborhood, where her mother would almost always forget to buy her favorite fruit. She eavesdropped on her mother's conversations, waiting for her turn to talk, only to be shooed away. She even accompanied her mother on office-cleaning expeditions on Saturdays. Mummy seldom had a moment to spare. But looking back on a special surprise one Easter Sunday, the narrator realizes that her mother was always thinking about her own children, in spite of the demands of her domestic work and the central role she played in her community. Based on Laura James' childhood in Brooklyn, and accompanied by her gorgeous, vibrant illustrations, this simple story is a moving reflection of race, class and labor in North America, including the Caribbean."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic formats. 650 0 $a African American families $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a African American children $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Nannies $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Child care workers $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Poor $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Race $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Love $v Juvenile fiction. 650 1 $a African American families $v Fiction. 650 1 $a African American children $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Mothers and daughters $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Nannies $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Child care workers $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Poor $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Race $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Love $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Familles noires ameÌricaines $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. 650 6 $a Enfants noirs ameÌricains $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. 650 6 $a MeÌres et filles $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. 650 6 $a Bonnes d'enfants $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. 650 6 $a Travailleurs speÌcialiseÌs dans le soin des enfants $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. 650 6 $a Pauvres $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. 650 6 $a Race $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. 650 7 $a JUVENILE FICTION / Family / Parents. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a JUVENILE FICTION / People & Places / United States / African American. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a JUVENILE FICTION / Holidays & Celebrations / Easter & Lent. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a African American children $2 fast 650 7 $a African American families $2 fast 650 7 $a Child care workers $2 fast 650 7 $a Love $2 fast 650 7 $a Mothers and daughters $2 fast 650 7 $a Nannies $2 fast 650 7 $a Poor $2 fast 650 7 $a Race $2 fast 655 4 $a Rita Cox Black and Caribbean Heritage Collection. 655 7 $a picture books. $2 aat 655 7 $a Fiction $2 fast 655 7 $a Juvenile works $2 fast 655 7 $a Picture books $2 fast 655 7 $a Picture books. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Livres d'images. $2 rvmgf 776 08 $i Online version: $a James, Laura (Laura N.) $t My mother was a nanny. $d Toronto ; Berkeley : Groundwood Books : House of Anansi Press, 2023 $z 9781773068312 $z 9781773068312 $w (OCoLC)1356895434 941 $a 3 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20240412010819.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240402011808.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240106010727.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4E5AAFA4AC6111EEB8E173B432ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
