These three picture books, published in 2009 and 2010, were written by Toni Morrison with her son Slade Morrison. Peeny Butter Fudge captures the warmth of a grandmother spending an afternoon making candy with her grandchildren, while Little Cloud and Lady Wind is a gentle nature fable about a cloud and the wind.
The Tortoise or the Hare (2010) revisits the classic Aesop story, continuing the Morrisons’ interest in retelling fables that began with the Who’s Got Game? series. These picture books are aimed at the youngest readers and carry a simpler, warmer tone than Morrison’s other children’s work.
