About the Book

A sweet story about accepting the different ways we all worship. Omar loves going to church every Sunday with his mother. He loves putting on his best clothes, and meeting up with neighbors and his best friend, Imani, as they walk together to services. But his daddy doesn't join them. "Some Sundays are meant for doing much of nothing or a little bit of something," says his father. Or maybe the lawn needs mowing or a ballgame needs watching. Omar's mother doesn't get upset. Each Sunday she reminds Daddy that his suit is in the closet if he would like to attend church. But he never does and Omar wonders why. It bothers him that his father doesn't join them at this special place. When Omar asks his mother about it, she talks to him about faith and belief. There are different ways to worship, and they don't have to take place in a building. But even with Mommy's reassurances, Omar still wishes his father would join them. This new entry in Sleeping Bear Press's Own Voices, Own Stories collection celebrates the bonds of family. An honor winner in the Own Voices, Own Stories collection.

About the Author :
Jeanine DeHoney has always been a dreamer. At the age of seven she dreamed of becoming a writer, and after her stories landed in the pages of tons of notebooks, she's grateful they've now landed in the pages of magazines, both mainstream and literary, online, and anthologies such as Chicken Soup for The Soul. Her children's stories have also been published in Skipping Stones, Devozine, and Australia's The School Magazine. Jeanine has won or has been shortlisted in several literary contests and was the 2022 Honor Award Winner for Sleeping Bear Press's Own Voices, Own Stories Award. A former art enrichment teacher and Family Services Coordinator at a preschool learning center in the Brooklyn neighborhood where she grew up, she now lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and looks forward to being the dream keepers of both young and old, with her stories. Robert Paul Jr. is a USA Today-bestselling illustrator. He has a love for people and everyone's unique story, which perfectly feeds into his illustrator and creator career. Born in St. Lucia and raised in St. Thomas in the United States Virgin Islands, Robert's ultimate calling is to help young people lead fun, positive, and enriched lives through storytelling. He lives in Houston, Texas, and enjoys mentoring young artists, experiencing ballet performances, and discovering delicious new recipes and restaurants.
