Reach for this book when you want to celebrate the beauty of slow, intentional time together or when you are looking to ground your child in the comfort of a yearly tradition. It is a gentle antidote to a fast-paced world, perfect for settling down before bed or preparing for a seasonal outing. The story follows a daughter and mother as they travel by bus to a specific mulberry tree, enduring a summer rain and searching for the perfect berries to take home and bake into a pie. This lyrical narrative emphasizes the bond of a single-parent family and the sensory joys of the natural world. It beautifully illustrates the concept of patience and the reward of waiting for something special. While simple enough for a three-year-old to follow through the lush illustrations, the rich vocabulary and emotional depth make it equally resonant for a seven-year-old who is beginning to value their own growing sense of independence within the safety of a parent's love.
