Dinner at Aunt Connie's House (Hippo Cafe Club) Review

What a wonderful book to have on hand during Black History month! It contains bright and bold colors in paintings of twelve beautiful African American women who tell us briefly about their lives and become the basis for longer collaborative work and projects by students. Add Faith Ringgold (Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists) and there is the basis for another African American woman in the mix.
Depending on the age group and your collaboration with your school media specialist/librarian, these are the things you can incorporate into a wonderful Black History project:
1. "Dinner at Aunt Connie's House"--read aloud parts of book for introduction to historical figures.
2. Go through "Faith Ringgold (Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists)" to identify the artist and some of her other books.
3. Assign one figure to a team of two (depending on class size). Make adjustments that suit your students.
4. Explain the assignment (as you determine best for your class). I would have mine do a powerpoint presentation using this book, one encyclopedia (if applicable), one book or magazine, or one internet article. Or posters. Or shoebox presentation. Or items pulled from a paper sack. Or whatever idea you create.
5. Require a written report (but it is not to be read to the class)
6. Have fun grading these projects! Display them.
As for Faith Ringgold's book, it is a celebration of women of color and the variety of things they have done in art, acting, writing, civil rights, education, public speaking, singing, leading, and cosmetics.
Melody and her newly adopted cousin, Lonnie, visit and talk with the women in the paintings. (You have to be there.) They have gone to their Aunt Connie's house for a big annual dinner and the display of her new art. Family comraderie is also a part of the story. By the end Melody has decided to grow up to become President of the United States and Lonnie will be a great opera singer! Well, why not?
