A joyful celebration of a mixed-race family and the love that binds them together.
As the seasons turn, Maisie rides her bull in and out of Dada's tall tales. Her Mama wears linen and plays the viola. Her Dada wears kente cloth and plays the marimba.They come from different places, but they hug her in the same way. And most of all, they love her just the same.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a story of a little girl and the tall tales her dadda tells. It’s a look at a family where mom and dad are quite different, but love is the key. It’s a nice story, and the illustrations are lovely, but I don't care for the cover. There are better and more vibrant pictures within the pages than on the outside.
