Mum, Me and the Mulberry Tree by Tanya Rosie
A tender, warm-hearted picture book brimming with the love, energy and anticipation of having a special day with someone you love. Will there be many and will they be ripe? Mum whispers, "Just wait and see." As the sun starts to rise, a mother and daughter head out, hand in hand, on their annual outing together. A special tradition, just the two of them. They’re leaving the town behind and going to the wild fields, where their mulberry tree is waiting. There’s juice on their hands and stains on their shirts as they collect berries and share a picnic; then its home to savour crumbly, sticky slices of fresh mulberry pie... Brought to life by Chuck Groenink’s soft and vivid illustrations, this is a deeply resonant story, warm with the joy of tradition and the sweetness of moments spent with people we love.With its lulling, looping rhymes and softly muted palette, this adorable picture-book account of a mother-daughter trip to gather mulberries evokes the sweet immediacy of small childhood rituals – and the loving memories they lay down for a lifetime. * Guardian *
Beautifully atmospheric and deliciously timeless, this delightful picture book harks back to the simple pleasures of life. Shared moments, treasured memories, innocence, belonging and comfort all brought together with illustrations in the hues created by a perfect sunset. Atreasure to read and share with your loved ones -- . * WRDMagazine *
