Jumping the Broom

Courtni C. Wright's Jumping the Broom is an excellent story, not only for children but adults as well. It gives children of all ages knowledge of how weddings can differ across cultures and across time. I found the book so throughly enjoyable that I mailed it to my older sister as a wedding gift!
