Book Guide

Soon after the sun rises, a young girl and her mother set out on the busy, riding knee to knee to visit their mulberry tree in the English countryside. With buckets and tubs in hand for collecting berries, the two spend the day together picnicking, waiting out a summer shower under their tree, and searching high and low for the best mulberries, the ones that are tucked away from the world. When the sun starts to set, they head home to bake a delicious pie, all the while knowing that they will be back next year to do it all again.

Author Tanya Rosie makes her picture book debut with this heartfelt story that celebrates family traditions and time spent together.
