Two Mrs. Gibsons is author Toyomi Igus's tender and touching tribute to the two most important women in her life—her Japanese mother and her African American grandmother.
From memories of her grandmother's big bear hugs to her mother's light down-filled comforter hugs, from listening to her grandmother's lively spirituals to her mother's soft lullabies, from playing with her grandmother's fancy going-to-a-Sunday-meetin' hats to trying on her mother's kimono, Toyomi celebrates the joys and rich diversity of growing up biracial.
