What's Gem About

Publisher Summary

As a young girl expectantly watches her pregnant mother’s prize watermelon belly, the moonlight slips and syrup drips, hair flows like honey and feet pad across the sun-scrubbed floor. Meanwhile, Bluesy Walker plays his sax next door. His energetic songs welcome the new baby into the world.
