Praise for Fish Fry Friday

***STARRED REVIEW*** "Bingham’s text marries straightforward descriptions and naturalistic dialogue...The effect is immersive; readers will feel as though they’re being ushered through the front door and offered a plate. Esperanza’s illustrations serve up a feast for the eyes...Esperanza captures facial expressions with an ultra-realism elevated by backdrops done in fantastical Technicolor...every page worthy of framing. A book to sink your teeth into."
Kirkus Reviews

Fish Fry Friday invites readers into a family tradition...beautiful and touching story
Booklist

This delectable follow-up to Bingham’s Soul Food Sunday (BCCB 10/21) offers readers another celebration of food as a centerpiece in family connection and joy, with Granny’s bombastic style guiding the gleeful zeal of the text and art...young listeners will be salivating at storytime.
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Bingham captures the love that goes into preparing the food and the closeness between the child and Granny. Her use of onomatopoeia makes for a good read-aloud.
