Twelve Dinging Doorbells
Twelve Dinging Doorbells invites readers into a warm, musical holiday world where family, food, and laughter take center stage. This picture book, written as a playful cumulative rhyme, celebrates Black joy and the love of coming together during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and every family celebration. It’s for kids ages 3–7 and the grownups who love sharing story time, offering a comforting, adventurous, and deliciously festive read.
Structured as a cumulative rhyme, Twelve Dinging Doorbells invites children to anticipate the next beat while meeting a lively cast of relatives gathered around Granny's kitchen table. Ebony Glenn's bright, expressive illustrations romp across the pages, turning the family gathering into a chorus of color and warmth. The heart of the story centers on the sweet potato pie Granny lovingly bakes, and the humorous escapade to keep it safe as music, dancing, and card games fill the room. This is fiction that feels like a family moment—funny, tender, and full of heart.
The book's playful rhythm and engaging pacing invite young readers to chime along, while the simple, lyrical text makes it perfect for read-alouds and early readers. Each page introduces cozy details—the kitchen scent of spices, the clatter of dishes, the glow of holiday lights—so children can slow down and savor the moment as they follow the ever-warming journey toward the pie's fate. The combination of storytelling, cheerful illustrations, and a gentle, cumulative structure makes Twelve Dinging Doorbells a celebration of tradition and togetherness.
