From Booklist:
Susan Keeter is a fine artist and illustrator with degrees in these subjects from Syracuse University. She illustrated The Piano by William Miller, which received the Best Picture Book Award from the Society of School Librarians International; and Tippy Lemmey by Patricia C. McKissack. Her paintings have been shown in both juried group shows and several one-person shows. Keeter lives in Syracuse, New York, with her husband, Seth, and their daughters, Sara and Emma.
PreS. This picture book could have been published as a sturdy board book, but it's easy to see why a full-size, hardcover format was ultimately chosen: Keeter's satiny oil portraits of an African American mom and her handsome toddler deserve to be reproduced in large format. Setting off the warm skin tones with bright tropical hues, Keeter enfolds iconic moments of babyhood in a cocoon of burnt-sugar warmth and sweetness. There is something a bit off-putting in the smothering maternal impulses that sometimes surface in Duncan's text (this mom wants to squeeze and kiss her "sweet Puddin' 'n' Pie" until "the sugar's gone"). Still, the poetic narrative will especially appeal to many African American families for language that reflects the sounds and rhythms of their households ("I'm gone always be yo sweet Ma'Dear"), and the reassuring words and joyful images should touch an even broader audience.
