A Berry for You, a Berry for Me!
Once a year, a little child and their mother journeys by bus to a mulberry tree, their tree, to get mulberries. It is a long day of picking berries, and filling their buckets. But it is also fun eating the delicious berries while they work, the two of them having a picnic lunch, and enjoying spending time together.
After a long day of work, they return home to one of the best parts of the day, using the mulberries to make a pie. Together the two make a pie crust, fill it with berries, and while it bakes, they make whipped cream for the top.
At last, the two of them relish the day’s labor when they enjoy eating delicious warm pie from the oven, with the fluffy topping.
The little one happily drifts off to sleep, very tired but with a full tummy, while thinking about the fun they had being with their mom, and having their annual mulberry pie.
Children will love hearing about spending a day with their mother doing something different from normal. The fact that the day ends with them getting a delicious treat to eat makes the story even better. This tale will cause a child to reminisce about traditions in their life. 
I recommend this tale that is full of love between a mother and her child. This five-star picture book will be enjoyed by children aged three to seven years old. Do not be surprised if your youngster suggests making a mulberry pie!
