Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In the Bahamas, according to this collection of gentle poems, people "walk together on Sundays" and stop "at the place where / two trees arch as one /leaves touching / like family." Like Mattie Lou O'Kelley's primitive folk art paintings of Georgia, Ferguson's flat canvases of his native islands are bright and colorful, and Greenfield's simply worded poems offer an enthusiastic tour of island life. "Look at that!" the reader is told after turning to a portrait of a woman in a fine blue dress; "Look at that lady / in the saucer hat." Tourists "fill their bags with fascinating stuff," and fishermen haul in yellow fish with bait that "works a whole / lot better than / a wish / if you really / want to catch a fish." Perspective and relative sizes are buoyantly askew in these vibrant paintings where large sea birds hover over milk white lilies and "sing a song of colors." All ages.

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-6Under the Sunday Tree is too special for just once-a-week reading. Greenfield's 20 exuberant poems are matched by the bright colors of Ferguson's life-filled paintings. Ferguson's native Caribbean glows as vividly in the words as in the full-page primitive pictures``It takes more than a wish/ to catch a fish/ you take the hook/ you add the bait/ you concentrate/ and then you wait'' (from ``To Catch a Fish'') or ``The sun shone too hot/ the veil wouldn't stay/ the pianist never/ came to play/ but love is what made it/ a perfect day'' (``Wedding Day''). Savor the perfect collaboration between two master image-makers, for this book offers readers a chance to ``fill their lives with warmth and sun/ enough to carry home for winter/ when their trip is done.'' Kathleen Whalin, Public Library of Columbus and Franklin County, Reynoldsburg, Ohio

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple pleasure, January 4, 2001
By "steve4luci" (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
While in the Bahamas, we bought a copy of Under the Sunday Tree, with paintings by a Bahamian primitive named Mr. Amos Ferguson and accompanying poems by Eloise Greenfield. We bought it to give to a young friend, but it may be too good to give away. Fortunately, it's available here at Amazon.... The poems really make the book, and the text is simple enough that it's accessible to young readers.
