Shante Keys and the New Year’s Peas by Gail Piernas-Davenport is a story of diversity and traditions that children will really enjoy.
Shanté Keys loves New Year’s Day! But while Grandma fixed chitlins, baked ham, greens, and cornbread, she forgot the black-eyed peas! Black-eyed beans represent good luck. Shante doesn’t want bad luck without them!
In her quest to find some black-eyed peas, Shante discovers the different ways that her neighbors celebrate the New Year.
Be sure to follow your Nanny Family’s New Years traditions with them or make the same meal Shante Keys enjoys in the book for your Nanny Kids after reading this book together.
