A young girl awakens and eagerly anticipates the many things she will experience among friends and family in her Sunday at church. Large format picture book.

Come Sunday is about a young girl named LaTasha who tells about her experience at church on a Sunday. Grimes writes in poetry, and they all weave together into one beautiful story. I liked how Grimes wrote from the perspective of LaTasha, and it was as if she jumped inside the mind of a child and wrote what they are thinking. I loved how Grimes was able to describe the setting of the story without physically stating where the setting is. She does so through language, using words such as "'cause", "honey", and "hopin'" shows the readers that this story is most likely taken place in the south. ( )

This is a lovely book all about a little girl who loves her church and everything about it. It looks like the picture might be a blend of watercolor and colored pencils, and it makes everything have a bit of a feathery look that i love. There is rhyming poetry in here, as well as just rhythnic poetry, very flowing.

I liked the book "Come Sunday". I enjoyed the literary devices that the author employed in her poetry, especially her use of repetition. Additionally, I enjoyed the illustrations. The illustrations helped show the emotions and actions that were being discussed in the poem on that page. The message of this book is what the little girl does on Sundays.

Review: This book is told from the perspective of a young girl and is about her church experiences. The story takes a good look at the actual culture of going to her church and the other people who attend. The poems are very good at conveying the main points of the poems into a beautifully descriptive language that is still understandable for young learners. ( )
